Chinatown Shuffle
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Rip-roarin' version. The 2nd set perks up quite a bit after a sleepy 1st. Pig was still on.

Dillon Stadium

2nd one ever, and it seems like they're still getting it together. Nicely stripped down and clear vocals. Historically interesting.

Massive enthusiasm, Jerry sings himself hoarse. Brilliant, in spite of poor AUD quality.

Playin' In The Band

Dillon Stadium

All the inferno-intensity of the great '72s (yeah, those ones) condensced to 14min. Only reason not here is the B- AUD quality. Don't miss it!

AUD-only supernova, not for the SBD-only folks. The band is so tight, the arc or the song just exactly perfect.

Brown Eyed Women

Overlooked. This is a brilliant version.
Sugaree
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Keith is glorious throughout this beauty. I'll admit when I see a 14 minute Sugaree there's a part of me that says 'uh-oh, hope it doesn't drag....' But this is just pristine throughout: Hot jams, clear ideas and solos, with mindbending guitar effects that think are the first-ever for their kind. And that Godchaux fella tickling the keys. Nice one!
Its All Over Now
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

After two shaky songs to start the first set Bobby comes steaming in with this beauty.
Morning Dew
Feb. 27, 1977
Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara

For any era for Morning Dews this is top shelf. Drops on the heads out of nowhere, capping off a good - but not necessarily great - 2nd set.
Dark Star
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Music to practice levitation to. Also the best damn Rat Sandwich you'll probably ever eat.
