China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Fox Theatre

Unique transition jam with a two-chord quarter-note striking pattern before IKYR. Band hits its stride in the set here.

Winterland Arena

Smooth as liquid smoke. Beautiful recording and great show, complete with weirdness from Grace Slick. A few tape glitches, but worth it.

Friend of the Devil

Winterland Arena

Hometown benefit show with a nostalgic feel for the '70 sound that just smokes here.

Greatest Story Ever Told

Springfield Civic Center

Peak era for GSET. Jerry spontaneously combusts into a string-shredding inferno.

He's Gone

Springfield Civic Center

Extra-special sauce on this one: The outro goes into a long unique jam before the gospel bit. The band is completely unified.

Playin' In The Band
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Playin' in 2nd half of '71 shows the seeds of evolution toward the epic it would become in the next year. This one is tight and cool. Good version.
Hard to Handle

Hollywood Palladium

When Pig Dead hits your mind give this one the time. No brakes, no hesitation, no regrets. Oh - and one of Jerry's all time best blues solos too.
