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.

Easttown Theatre

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

I listen to it again and again, always hearing new things. One of my favourite versions of one of my favourite songs.

Great transition. Brilliant jam through the transition. Just an enormous show through and through.

Beautiful and mysterious. This version is exactly what I love about this song - even the aud patches in my version add to its psychedelic glory.

Grab hold to something and try to hang on. Remember to breath.

Really nice Cryptical on both sides. The "outro" is smoking hot and almost as long as the TOO meat in the sandwich.
