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.

Warfield Theater

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

Winterland Arena

The dynamics and attention to detail really impress. What a first set!
The Other One
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

This is a great version for the year, which is to say -- unremarkable by '70-'73 standards but better than almost all versions to follow.

Winterland Arena

Could this be the best version of the year? It's possible! It's a generous, nearly spotless rendition that unfurls melody after melody.

Community War Memorial Auditorium

11/2/77 and this have got to be the best consecutive versions of this tune played post-'74. Hot damn!

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Yes, it is!
