Drums -> Space
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

The Spectrum

Tight, energetic, heartfelt rendition of this era staple.

The Other One
April 9, 1989
Freedom Hall

A kaleidoscopic Other One is the apex of a very well-played second set.

Emphatic, even ferocious. Check it out.

Thunderous energy to complement the rest of this hard-rocking Winterland run.

Friend of the Devil
June 24, 1976
Tower Theatre

June ’76 is unquestionably the best month for FOTD. Jerry’s solo here is a little less exciting than in some others, but everything is so well-played — it’s an easy upvote. Frankly, this one’s a Godchaux powerhouse, between Keith’s assured, lilting accompaniment and Donna’s career-best ’76 harmonizing.
Black Peter
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Breathtaking dynamics on display. Exquisitely expressive.
Ship of Fools
July 16, 1990
Rich Stadium

What was it about Buffalo and “Ship of Fools”?
The Other One
Jan. 8, 1978
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Akin to the previous show’s Dancin’, it’s very exploratory for the year.
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 1, 1973
Music Hall

To spell it out: Jerry and Billy, in particular, play the UJB intro in the style of a Playin’ jam. It’s awesome. Listen now!
