Fox Theatre

Unique transition jam with a two-chord quarter-note striking pattern before IKYR. Band hits its stride in the set here.

Smooth as liquid smoke. Beautiful recording and great show, complete with weirdness from Grace Slick. A few tape glitches, but worth it.

Friend of the Devil

Winterland Arena

Hometown benefit show with a nostalgic feel for the '70 sound that just smokes here.

Greatest Story Ever Told

Springfield Civic Center

Peak era for GSET. Jerry spontaneously combusts into a string-shredding inferno.

Extra-special sauce on this one: The outro goes into a long unique jam before the gospel bit. The band is completely unified.

Amazing. Just heard the whole show for the first time. Several greats throughout the show, but this is the kind of dazzling Stephen that got me on the bus and kept me there. They took their vitamins that night!

Great energy. Drives into a cool "Close Encounters" solo Jerry Jam.

Kicks into a raging high-energy epic around 07:45 This is what used to blow me out of my boots at the shows back in the day. Wish I could have been there for this one.

Just infinite. Midway into the jam Jer hits a riff, then settles on it, then brings everyone in on it. Collective massive jamming. Great Jack Straw on this show, too. Sorry for the double posting!
