Sweet Jerry vocals. A delicate ship setting sail into the post 1974 seas. Good harmonies from Bob and Donna. An overlooked show from an overlooked yea

One of best of 1974. Tight, Jerry inventive and confident, good soloing. Everything a Deal should be. Give it a listen.

Row Jimmy

Comes out of a MLB jam, a big fat mellow groove sets out what is one of those weeks of really good versions.

Chinatown Shuffle
April 29, 1972
Musikhalle

All about Keith's fine piano work. Possibly the best in contention with 14/4/72
Bird Song
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

The Bird Songs from this show , the nights at Berkeley through to Veneta, each one a priceless gem. They need more listening and I'm sure more of you would upvote these shows
Ripple

Fillmore West

First ever. Love this and the following night. When Jerry sang so sweet.
Truckin'
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

The JAM is pure sweet jammy goodness. Lovely slide work. An all round good Truckin'.
Looks Like Rain
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

I often skip this song, but as I was downloading the show, gave it a listen. This is a very lovely version. What I like about this whole show is the 1976 quality vocals of Bobby and Donna- staying within their range, not screeching. Go check out the Sugar mag from this show.
