Drums -> Space

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.

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.

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.

Recently got my paws on this Road Trips. There aren't too many good sounding SBDs with this tune from its early vintage out there but this here is certainly one of them. Nice segue into GSET.

Some of Phil's most legendary 'Phil bombs' are from this tour--a result of many factors: great live sound system, beer, well-recorded SBDs, the band at a peak, etc.--and this is a pretty remarkable one. Check out the 'Dark Star' from 10/25/73 for maybe the mother of all Spaces from the Fall '73 tour. Now there's a version that should probably have about 5 times as many votes as it's got now.

Love is a many-splendored thing! Have fun! Now, this here 'Row Jimmy' just might be the very definition of heady...but no up-vote here, 'cause it just don't feel right votin' for sumthin' I ain't never listened to.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

This is one of the shows for which I am most curious about in the 30 Trips box. Will they patch the Rider with the AUD, the SBD of another show, or do they have the complete Rider in the vault?

Grendel is right: explain. It would be best, maybe, if every version was listed-- even the shittiest or worse than that--but had a collection of thoughtful comments about it. A conversation, of sorts. The votes probably speak for themselves which trails are most worth exploring (although there are some duds--- good topic for other online conversations, 'The most out of whack ratings on headyversion'-and plenty of under-the-radar stuff).
