Beat it on Down The Line
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Not just high-energy but a little manic and dangerous. Listen for some sneaky fills by Keith.

Carter-Finley Stadium

Some very impressive jamming in this Playin' > Uncle John's > Playin' from Brent's last month on the road.

Wild, anarchic jam before the transition the transition back to NFA, replete with Jerry harmonics and Phil bombs.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
March 29, 1983
Warfield Theater

Damn!! Sharp playing to match the high energy of the first California Help>Slip! in six years. Phil's thumping away like it's '77. Brent sounds like he's been playing H>S for years -- and I, for one, really love the marimba patch, which makes an appearance. I'm enjoying the Schley AUD.
Dire Wolf
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

One of the last versions in A? It was transposed to C at some point during October ’77, never to return to its original key. Anyway, I always liked it better in A. Well-played version, too.
Cassidy
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Almost too perfect, at least till a small Jerry slip-up at the end. Heavenly.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

Impressive sense of detail throughout, plus all the big Technicolor moments you expect from spring ’78 really deliver here.
Sugar Magnolia
May 13, 1978
The Spectrum

Caps a post-drums sequence that the band rocks like they really mean it. Great stuff.
