Sweetly melodic outro, well-played. I really enjoyed this Space > Other One > Stella.

Forceful and confident, with rowdy playing from Bobby and Brent in particular.

Deal
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

Jack Straw

Olympiahalle

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

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!
