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
2
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

Saint of Circumstance
April 5, 1991
The Omni

Wow really out there soaring Saint of Circumstance. The jam almost sounds like the one in Cassidy. Ultramatrix is great but I personally like the Oade AUD
China Doll
Nov. 2, 1985
Richmond Coliseum

Fine little Playin' jam at the very end - check out the Oade AUD
Wharf Rat
Sept. 18, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Where is the love for this show?? I know it's better on paper but it's not played poorly - average at worst. Fun show with a heartfelt wharf rat
Ramble On Rose
Oct. 28, 1985
Fox Theater

Jerry kicks rose into top gear. Excellent 80's version
Comes A Time
June 25, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre

Dreamy - floats along after two minutes of beautiful space teasing Comes a Time. Summer '91 hardly disappoints!
