The Other One
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
Vivid Drums followed by extraordinary Space: a bright, melodic Bob and Jerry jam, then bicycle horns and a rich TOO intro jam.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
More sinister than seductively psychedelic. -> A fairly uptempo China Doll, forming one of my favorite ’83 combos.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 19, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Just ferocious by the end of Rider, but there’s lots to enjoy all the way through this combo.

Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre
Much like the Philly version a week earlier, this one really shines.

Ramble On Rose
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
Thick, rubbery-bouncy version. Fantastic follow-up to a gorgeous LLR.
Wharf Rat
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion
Now, I like the 46-minute Playin’ (not everyone does, as you will see if you read the comments), but even I’m inclined to say that Eyes > Wharf Rat is the apex of the show and one of the greatest moments of the month. It doesn’t get sweeter — more passionately and resourcefully realized — than this.
Wharf Rat
Oct. 14, 1977
Hofheinz Pavilion
I can’t even believe this thing.
Friend of the Devil
Sept. 18, 1983
Nevada County Fairgrounds
A lot of very generous playing in the first few songs of this show — just a bounty of notes, all of them well chosen. Again, I’ll say: The Andrew F source sounds fantastic.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium
Substantially energized by the storm and/or Bruce’s presence. Slathered in IT. Among the very best.
