Bruce's accordion really makes this one shine, and I'm not even a fan of it. Make of it what you will. + Phil bombs galore

Rare standalone Smokestack reeling out of Space, sweet playing to boot

Truckin'
Dec. 30, 1983
Civic Auditorium

On the heels of a sweet MLB jam - Bobby blows some lyrics but the playing is where it's at - dissolves into a nice Wharf Rat

Cosmic cowboy, how do you do?
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Iowa State Fairgrounds

Billy drives this one throughout - great GDTRFB
Stella Blue
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

The outro jam makes me want to tear up...forever grateful (~):)
The Other One
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

From blazing hot to spacey wonder, this Other One packs it all. The Jerry spacey jam at the end leading into Stella is most enjoyable.
Dark Star
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Excellent Star with my favorite part being the jam after about 20 minutes in, veers into lots of fun territory and Phil's tone beginning to shape like how it would sound in '73
