Feelin' Groovy Jam
June 8, 1974
Coliseum Stadium

Underrated China>Rider featuring this magnificent Feelin' Groovy jam - you think it's gonna end but they just rip it for another climax. What a treat!

Meadowlands Arena

Starts off choppy with Jerry forgetting lyrics but by "Throw me in the jailhouse" the band is in fine form

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Strong post-hiatus version - Phil thundering away on this one. Love how Jerry belches out "BOYS sing 'round the fire"

The Palladium

Spacey Fried Goodness!
Samson and Delilah
Feb. 4, 1978
Milwaukee Auditorium

Awesome Samson, gets somehow even more smokin' after the 5 min mark
Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Weaving in and out of the Playin'/Main Ten theme throughout this one. Might be mistaken but this is the longest/one of the longer Playin's on the E72 tour
Dark Star

Tivolis Koncertsal

Lovely, dynamic and engaging DS. Big fan of when you can hear everyone clearly and how they each drive the jams.

Gaelic Park

When people talk about "Phil-led" shows and songs, this is what they mean. Excellent Other One
