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

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.

Great American Music Hall

Yup, tight and tender. Great version! Maybe the best represented thing from this show (save for the oddball stuff only played around this time).
Eyes Of The World
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

This could very well be THE definitive Phil version of this song.
Uncle John's Band
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Short and sweet. Dave's Picks 2.
Truckin'
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Yup, good jam at the end (is it even Truckin' at that point) just before a Mind Left Body. And Jerry seems to execute his ideas really well within the song proper. Dave's Picks 2.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Like many folks, this is the first version I ever heard and it was love at first listen.
