The Eleven
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom
Another brilliant April '69 Eleven that just doesn't let up. Forceful, but totally unforced.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom
Brilliantly strange. T.C.'s organ adds stuttering weirdness to a churning groovathon.

Friend of the Devil

West Virginia University Coliseum
A Garcia solo worth savoring. Very special.

Let It Grow
May 13, 1983
Greek Theater
Ferocious but not reckless. Tremendous feeling and poise. The show as a whole seems woefully underrated.

Jerry soars from the first note while Brent's compI ng subtly shades darker. A mesmerizing gyre. Check out the fine Keshavan/Miller AUD.

The Other One
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena
My favorite thing about this version is listening to Keith synthesize Jerry's brand-new Slipknot lines on the fly.
Ramble On Rose
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena
HUGE version right here. Heavy but never lumbering. The whole band is in peak form, although I’d be remiss if I didn’t single out one PHILIP LESH.
Cumberland Blues
June 23, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton
Probably one of the latest versions to suggest the old Viola Lee Blues jams. One of the breaks really gets primal. Phenomenal.

Heckuva show opener!
Big River
Nov. 25, 1973
Feyline Field
Jerry’s soloing is some of the hottest I’ve ever heard in Big River. Keith too exceeds my already lofty expectations.
