Space

Boston Garden

Sea Stones: Space noise electronica with Phil & Ned. Not for everyone, but sends me into well into the interstellar place.

Sugaree

Boston Garden

May-June '74 might be my top time for Sugaree. This just builds up to so much intensity. Great stuff.

Candyman
Aug. 5, 1970
Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

Intimacy levels: Campfire. Acoustic mellow to the point where I feel like just went camping with my favorite band. A treasure.

The Other One
Feb. 3, 1968
Crystal Ballroom

Clutch yer nuts and hold on for dear life. Heavy headiness where the squiggly hippies and the madman bikers get massively Dead nailed.

Truckin'

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

Explosive jam like they had 11 months of unplayed Truckin's compressed into one.

Hollywood Bowl

Really stellar transitional FGJ.
Eyes Of The World
July 19, 1974
Selland Arena

Whole 2nd set qualifies for one of the top Phil Zone Jam Sets of the era. WRS/LIG>Spanish>Eyes>China Doll. Goddamn, it's good.
Uncle John's Band
Nov. 17, 1973
Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Date, plate, slate, Koweit: Doesn't matter to me, 'cause this show tears the roof off the sucker. May be one of my top 10 shows of all time. Goddamn, it's good.
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 26, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Shreddingly fast guitar work. Jerry's voice sounds young and fresh. Great version, great second set, great show.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Something supremely special with Playing' after Europe '72. Everyone loves Veneta, but don't overlook these peaks from the same week. Always seemed like they pulled it all out just a little bit furthur for the Berkeley crowd.
