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

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

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'.

The Other One
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Tremendous flow from one theme to another, and then it falls nicely into Stella. A bit low on the list, I'd say.
Ramble On Rose
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

Indeed, not a great rendereing per se, but it is definitely very cool when you hear those chords come banging in to kick this one off right after the Wolfman got the crowd to 'Light up'. And Jerry nails the Wolfman part, too. Definitely heady.

Part of a great sequence. Jerry does a good job of singing his way through the lyrics that he temporarily can't seem to recall.
Truckin'

If we count the lengthy jam at the end of this one (which we do around these parts), then this one is really, really good. The jam even has a fleshed out WRS Prelude (it's really not WRS--that was months away from its premier) that gets a little jam spread on it. It then gives way to more jamming. This is really good stuff. But start with the He's Gone first and let the whole sequence play through.

Very nice version featuring good singing, sweet fills from Keith, and gentle power from Jerry on the outro jam. Part of a great sequence, as well.
