Drums -> Space

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Billy and Mickey play together like they were a big octopus on this one. 'The Wheel' comes rolling nicely out of 'Space'. Altogether, a G-rated D>P.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

An '82 vintage Playin' sandwich that finds the boys playin' in fine form. DP 32.

Jerry really belts this one out. All of the attention to detail that you'd expect in a version from this era plus a good bridge solo.

Playin' In The Band

An enjoyable listen, but most notable, I'd say, for an excellent little peak that rises up like a volcano towards the end of the jam.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 30, 1973
Boston Music Hall

A good, light and airy version that shows quite well what this song was up to near the end of its first year in the rotation.

Ramble On Rose
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

From a show that needs no introduction, this is one of the few versions of this song that I would be glad to listen to again.
Black Peter
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

Maybe the best thing off of that album.
You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Donna delivers.

Boston Garden

Yeah, Jerry kept evolving. I have read somewhere (I'll try to source it) that this acoustic sound is something that Jerry had been striving to attain. If you like this sound, check out some of the China>Riders from this time.
The Other One
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Well, if we're calling that Feedback/HyperSpace part of 'The Other One', I agree--great stuff! It certainly impressed me more than anything else on DP 1 after my first listen.
