U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Powerful U.S. Blues that veers into a solid Truckin'. Seamless transition between the two

Dire Wolf
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Sublime Dire Wolf - Jerry kills it with perfect vocals and excellent playing. Best of '87 if not the entire post-coma era

Sugar Magnolia
Sept. 17, 1973
Onondaga County War Memorial

Not the most remarkable Sugar Mag BUT it has horns + Jerry sings the first verse

Drums
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

Really fun Drums out of Eyes that leads into one of the most fiery Other One's of the year ('76-'77 O1's are quite mellow). Do not skip at all costs

Aiko Aiko
June 14, 1984
Red Rocks Amphitheater

Rockin' show opener with the band in full form. Everyone can be heard nicely in the Soundboard mix

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Totally fired up, excellent version
Alabama Getaway
April 9, 1982
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Holy shit HOT Alabama despite the mix issues as typical with the first song. One of the best??? Underrated for sure standing at 5 votes as of me writing this
Terrapin Station
March 29, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

Really great 2nd set opening Terrapin with great jamming and an interesting segue into Dewimmina
Black Throated Wind
Aug. 25, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

I love how Bobby calls out BTW for them to play. Something really magical about this era
Uncle John's Band
Oct. 25, 1989
Miami Arena

Top notch version
