Playin' In The Band
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

A good cure for those 'No 'Cid Blues'. This one is a gem.

Morning Dew
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

Part of the first Playin' sandwich. The transition back into Playin' is like the cops kicking your door in at 4 a.m. it is so sudden and surprising.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

An aural honeypot capping a dynamite show.

Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

A breezy and pleasant intro gives way to a monstrous intra-verse portion that features some 'Uncle John's Band'-themed jamming.

Dark Star
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

Serene, frenetic, diffuse, cluttered--in short, this one goes through more changes than David Bowie's hair. Pheatures a phleshed out 'Philo Stomp'.

Crazy Fingers
Aug. 13, 1975
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.
