Ramble On Rose

Metropolitan Sports Center

Sharp, delightful version. Supercharged Keith’s melodic lines will keep you guessing.

Do not miss! Jerry and Billy delicately dance across this while Phil subtly challenges the stability.

Very cohesive version with a noticeable snap. And Phil’s prominent in the recording.

The Other One

Downs of Santa Fe

Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space

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.

The Music Never Stopped
May 26, 1977
Baltimore Civic Center

Now, this is a rollicking GOOD time. Amazing how Jerry’s playing can evince so much intensity while also being lighter than air.
Samson and Delilah
Sept. 24, 1976
William and Mary College Hall

Strutting, slinking, swaying *funky* version powered by Keith’s deliberately, boldly repetitive comping. Wow!
One More Saturday Night
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Approximately 100% more spirited than your average version. Phil is amped up in more ways than one.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

A tepid beginning opens up into some novel exchanges and a lot of exploration. Not the “best” anything, but it’s a worthy chapter in the ongoing saga of Playin’. I like it.
Big Railroad Blues
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

The playful, twangy intro is a delightful surprise.
