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

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.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

A big Playin’ sandwich. This Playin’ moves like a ping pong ball down a river, crashing through boiling white-hot rapids, whirling in little eddies and sometimes just barely passing over patches of submerged moss in the thinnest of microrivulets before rejoining the main flow.
Truckin'
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

The 'Truckin' here is solid, but it's when 'Drums' (Billy! with some Phil, too) kicks in that things really get heady, leading to a pretty unique 'Feelin' Groovy' jam that is at turns bluesy and jazzy. It should be noted that this sequence ends with a great 'Morning Dew'.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

I'm with you on this one, man. Excellent stuff. And Dave/Dick like(d) it too, as it is some of the 'filler' on DP 34.

Some good stuff happens here. Check it out!

This things just smokes. Also, Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 1 would probably have been helped by including some of the absolutely blistering first set performances that occurred during this incredible run at the MSG. You can say that again! Woops!
