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.

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.

Furious shredding, blisteringly hot.

Slow building intense ride. Around 10th minute Jerry starts sounding like a room full of guitars jamming as one.

This is a great show. The band seems to be experimenting with so much, and the sound is really gentle, really "less is more". The Stephen>Jam seems so fragile in places, like gossamere or dancing fragments of memory, but constantly driving forward, too.

Really beautiful and long. Goes into a modal jam reminiscent of "Sketches of Spain" around 12:00.
