Don't Ease Me In
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Madison Square Garden

Aka Lunatic Preserve. A hair-raising, spontaneous meltdown bridging SOTM and Miracle.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 5, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Very substantial jam develops out of the AWBYGN passage before the return to NFA.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

Very tight performance that’s still packed with holiday run excitement. The Miller/Clugston board sounds great for the era, too.

Throwing Stones

Warfield Theater

Jerry repeats an interesting pattern during the main jam section that Brent picks up on later (using the marimba patch!).

Truckin'
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

You’ll be tempted to up-vote just for the way Phil sings “busted.”
Around and Around
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

I’ll echo that. Around and Around is not one of my favorites, so believe me when I say this one is worth hearing.
Truckin'
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Crisp but hard-charging jam. LTGTR > Truckin’ > Touch is a hell of a way to open a show!
Uncle John's Band
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

You think you know where it’s gonna go ... you don’t! This one really manages to surprise.
Terrapin Station
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

This one is firmly in “oh my god” territory. Set aside any preconceived notions about the “sameness” of Terrapin in ’77 and go along for the ride.
