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.

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
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.

Not Fade Away

Manhattan Center

At once lush and succinct.
The Other One

Manhattan Center

In just under 10 minutes this one manages to cover a lot of nice territory.
Wharf Rat

Manhattan Center

This one has got a very nice ass.
Let It Grow
Sept. 19, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Crystalline and gummy, all at once. Followed up, too, by a nice transition jam into Drums.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

'Foundational'--Nick Paumgarten, The New Yorker. This is one of the pillars upon which this legendary show rests.
