A barnburner, charged up and powerful. Nice clear musical ideas throughout the jam.

Playin' In The Band

Onondaga War Memorial

Like 10.23 this has a burning, agressive quality and hard-driving pulse that gives it huge horsepower. Playin's eternal metamorphosis on display here.

Jerry's soloing throughout this one is fantastic, precise and rockin'.

Nice version, band kicks into gear and sounds great, ironing out a few kinks in the mix earlier in the set. Early Keith show = dynamite stuff.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Easttown Theatre

Overlooked. No peace-and-love version, this is rock and freaking roll. The transition to Ryder is pure shredding genius.

Nice exploration of China's melodic themes before moving into the Riderish jam.

I count this as a Dark Star jam as much as a Spanish Jam. DS melodic themes appear in the first minute and recur throughout.
