The Other One
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1983
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.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe
More sinister than seductively psychedelic. -> A fairly uptempo China Doll, forming one of my favorite ’83 combos.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 19, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Just ferocious by the end of Rider, but there’s lots to enjoy all the way through this combo.

Ramble On Rose
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre
Much like the Philly version a week earlier, this one really shines.

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!
