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

Mister Charlie

Gaelic Park

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

Fillmore East

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

Space

Rec Hall, Penn State U

A short, incredibly dense, and interesting piece of space

The Other One
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena

Oh my GOD, the jam out of Drums on this! Very Santana-esque jam, as Coralsand articulated. Primal 70's hyper-speed muscle. Very choice
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Very interesting to transition into this out of PITB. Love the curveball. Fine version taboot
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Hits a very nice, melodic peak and the unusual meat material in the sandwich is undeniably tasty
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Agree in total with HVD. Sick slipknot and the Franklin's is a very bouncy piece of fun. Great version of the suite - nice choice for 30 days of dead
Truckin'
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

Agree, the Truckin' is fine, but the real magic comes with the NFBM > Drums > Feelin' Groovy Jam. The keys/drum/bass jam after the Drums is super interesting, then Lesh pulls them into an utterly sick Groovy jam. Great, great sequence
