Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 5, 1969
Fillmore West

High-velocity, high-power jamming magic, all packed into less than nine minutes. Intense. From a wonderful overlooked show.

Fillmore West

Very well played and sung! Pity about the audience member humming along out of tune, but otherwise a fine ’69 AUD.

Ramble On Rose

Metropolitan Sports Center

Sharp, delightful version. Supercharged Keith’s melodic lines will keep you guessing.

Do not miss! Jerry and Billy delicately dance across this while Phil subtly challenges the stability.

Very cohesive version with a noticeable snap. And Phil’s prominent in the recording.

Mason's Children
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Easily one of the tightest, fiercest versions of the song I’ve heard.
Deal
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

I expect that this one will get a lot more votes after people hear the official release. It’s fiery and also has excellent phrasing and more Phil than some early ’80s shows.
Space
Aug. 6, 1982
St. Paul Civic Center

This is an incredible Space, both because of the Other One/Eleven jam and because of the meltdown before.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Aug. 6, 1982
St. Paul Civic Center

Fantastic second set!
Promised Land
June 22, 1976
Tower Theatre

Jerry’s playing is extremely exuberant on this one! Great version of the best Berry tune.
