Don't Ease Me In
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Space

Madison Square Garden

Aka Lunatic Preserve. A hair-raising, spontaneous meltdown bridging SOTM and Miracle.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 5, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Very substantial jam develops out of the AWBYGN passage before the return to NFA.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

Very tight performance that’s still packed with holiday run excitement. The Miller/Clugston board sounds great for the era, too.

Throwing Stones

Warfield Theater

Jerry repeats an interesting pattern during the main jam section that Brent picks up on later (using the marimba patch!).

Cumberland Blues
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Sounds like Jerry quotes some recognizable (famous) bluegrass licks in this one. Sorry, can't ID the song.
Me and My Uncle
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Folks... this is quite a Me & My Uncle.
Caution
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

Holy fuck! This is nuts! Absolutely raging '68 firestorm of a Caution.
Turn On Your Love Light
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

Not better than the best of '69-'71, but this one sure shreds in places.
Turn On Your Love Light
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Vastly more interesting than the majority of latter-day Lovelights.
