Row Jimmy
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater
Intense and electrifying, highlighted perhaps by Jerry’s vocal performance. Another amazing June ’76 Row Jimmy.

I Need A Miracle
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre
Hot early version with a well-developed Jerry-led outro jam. Check out the amazing Joann Walker recording.

Unusual, long Space for the era. Fans of Feedback will enjoy this one.

Uncle John's Band
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
What a mood this second set finds itself in. The UJB jam melting into that solo Garcia meditation is the purest distillation.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
I’m with cgarces: This is probably the third best of the month behind Cornell and maaaaybe Tuscaloosa — and No. 3 is a tremendous honor for May 1977. What an impossibly smooth, sweet, and dreamy second set.
The Other One
June 26, 1973
Seattle Center Coliseum
If you know how to listen to the noisy stuff, this Other One’s for you.
El Paso
June 26, 1973
Seattle Center Coliseum
Serious heat. A *Wild* West El Paso from the best era for the cowboy tunes.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1973
Seattle Center Coliseum
The other commenters are spot-on. The arrival of Feelin’ Groovy sounds totally natural, unforced, and the overall shape, pulse, dynamics, execution … wow. The transition jams would get feistier and knottier in the fall, but this is about as perfect a mellow China Cat > Rider as you could ask for.
