Has it all, and goes seamlessly into a killer Lovelight. Not catching why this show is the bomb? Try HEADPHONES - makes a big difference!

Let It Grow

Providence Civic Center

As a young head I used to scream out for LIG and this one reminds me why. They click into place for a monster show right here.

Providence Civic Center

Scarlet scrambled eggs deconstructed and elemental. Fun and Jerry is on fire, but we can't say 'flawless'. Chaotic fun. Band's just warming up....

Bird Song

Dillon Gym

A strangly deconstructed early version (7th time ever), very loose in the joints. But it rolls along with great lopsided beauty. Interesting.

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.
