Ship of Fools
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

Jerry's voice is crisp, his playing is sharp, and Keith does a great job with atmospheric organ fills

Rip snortin' version!

Doin' That Rag
Feb. 11, 1969
Fillmore East

An extra handful of stank on the end jam puts this well above a "normal" version. Definitely worth checking out

The Other One

Fillmore East

Not the longest version (due to time restraints), but this one starts like it is shot out of a fucking cannon

Rec Hall, Penn State U

A short, incredibly dense, and interesting piece of space

I'll double comment till the lights go out... Regardless of era or any other markers or metrics, this one thrills like few, if any, others. The peaks are glorious glimpses of the beyond, the valleys are soulful renderings of agony - this version is the absolute purpose of this song.
Jack Straw

Giants Stadium

Throwing HAYMAKERS. Bobby bringing chaw on vocals, Jerry is red hot on leads, Lesh and devils killing the low end, Brent with passionate fills. This one is FIRE. Bobby screaming the refrain = goosebumps
Black Peter

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Oh man, this one is passionate. Very soulful licks from Jerry
The Music Never Stopped
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Brent goes NUTS in this. Chunky playing, combining with Jerry's triumphant leads, and Bobby's powerful rhythmic chords
