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!

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"

Solid version despite a vocal mishap from Jerry
Not Fade Away
Sept. 18, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Real party vibes to this show - the boys were just having a great time, and it must've been even more fun in person
Truckin'
June 29, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Fiery outro into the O1. Solid vocals as well
The Other One
June 29, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Even with the tape flip around 10:55 this might be one of my favorite Other One's ever. The Phil Jam early on and the slipknot-ish jam closing out this O1 are just so awesome. Cannot recommend this highly enough and as a magnificent bonus this goes into a fantastic Morning Dew
Greatest Story Ever Told
