Around and Around

Hampton Coliseum

Not usually my song, but this one cranks into hyper speed, with Brent preaching on the organ and Jerry nailing the licks

Truckin'
May 4, 1979
Hampton Coliseum

Not the longest version, but hot with some interesting diversions into different territory than a normal Truckin'. Segues effortlessly into Stella

Fiery version - Jerry is ON. Mothership on hype. Worthy of a focused spin

The Eleven
Aug. 24, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

Tizzy of frantic jamming, then boils down into a bluesy goo > flawless transition to Death Don't Have
Bertha
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

BIG bounce to this one. Amped UP
Easy Wind
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

Some real bouncy blues and sharp Garcia licks. This one is fantastic
Promised Land
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

Even the Promised Land cranks in this show. Big ending peak and crowd is going bonkers
When Push Comes to Shove
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

On paper, this first set gets a "meh" and a shrug, but I cannot stop listening to it on the latest Dave's. Every song is given the proper treatment and the boys are ON. This song, one I never gave any real attention to, is played with power and joy. Now I wish they played it more often - has the bounce similar to "Might as Well" - I def dig it
