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'.

Ramble On Rose
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

From a show that needs no introduction, this is one of the few versions of this song that I would be glad to listen to again.
Black Peter
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

Maybe the best thing off of that album.
You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Donna delivers.
Sugaree
Sept. 29, 1993
Boston Garden

Yeah, Jerry kept evolving. I have read somewhere (I'll try to source it) that this acoustic sound is something that Jerry had been striving to attain. If you like this sound, check out some of the China>Riders from this time.
The Other One
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Well, if we're calling that Feedback/HyperSpace part of 'The Other One', I agree--great stuff! It certainly impressed me more than anything else on DP 1 after my first listen.
