Drums -> Space
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena
Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

The Spectrum
Tight, energetic, heartfelt rendition of this era staple.

The Other One
April 9, 1989
Freedom Hall
A kaleidoscopic Other One is the apex of a very well-played second set.

Emphatic, even ferocious. Check it out.

Thunderous energy to complement the rest of this hard-rocking Winterland run.

Wharf Rat

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden
Wow, this is … where did this come from? Vastly more developed than most other early versions. Edgier and more interesting than many played later.

County Coliseum
There’s a really cruel cut in the middle of this one. When it cuts back in, we’re at the tail end of the solo, and it’s smoking. Oh, well.
Wharf Rat

Hollywood Bowl
I love how Bobby incorporates the Truckin’ intro into the Wharf Rat outro.
Let It Grow
Oct. 29, 1977
Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University
Pretty good, but I don’t think it’s No. 1, even assuming we’re excluding all the WRS versions. Even within fall ’77, I’d say 10/2 is more interesting. I’ll have to give 5/1/81 a listen. I know off the top of my head that 10/19/81 and 5/13/83 kick ass and probably best this one.
Me and My Uncle
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl
Oh my god, the five-headed monster is unstoppable in its devastation in this Me and My Uncle.
