Oct. 19, 1972
Fox Theatre

Two huge swells in this one. The first is a very funk jam led by Keith and Billy. The next involves a manic peak by Jerry. Worth checking out

Long Beach Arena

This jam is a patient wave of energy that hits a progressive peak, then dissipates as cautiously as it grew

Long Beach Arena

Jam starts fairly mellow, then Jerry vaults it into noodley hyperspace

Jerry calls for Keith to solo and he owns it. Great vocals by Jerry and Pig kills on backing organ

Playin' In The Band

Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Has some nice depth for a compact version. Not to mention the absolutely stunning UJB>P>UJB show opener call.

Beautiful version and a jaw dropping way to open a show! I love the introduction, ushering in the next 15 years of the Dead

Some minorly marbled lyrics, but this jam slays. Very energetic
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Spokane Coliseum

Rock clinic. Full band screaming the vocals by the end
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 27, 1982
Red Rocks Ampitheatre

Super clean, precise C>R. Jam out of China is nimble and melodic.
