Phildown St. opener in the ginormo dome at Syrabuse. Phil makes this one groovy.

Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

I'm a sucker for China Dolls - this one has Jerry delivering very dreamy vocals on this one.

Deep Elem Blues

Studio demo

Psychedelic blues explosion - a real different let's get weird take. Isn't this the Matrix show?
Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 24, 1971
Seattle Center Arena

Yeah I like that jam too - sounds Allmanesque to me if slowed down a smidge - Jer just rips it up for a good 4mins.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Sept. 28, 1975
Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

Love this version and so different from all others run the NFA through for the warm up to get the complete flavor profile for these two - Jer's got his tone dialed in and both should surprise you. 0-ppppppppppppppppp89 cat just walked across the keys....
Not Fade Away
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Darkstar67 sent me here and I agree this one is nice and chewy!
The Other One

The Spectrum

Nicely mental later version tripped out Weir vocals and sounds like Brent was playing asteroids during the set break - so he broke out the effects here plus the feedback is a strong bonus.
