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
2
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

Wharf Rat
June 28, 1991
Mile High Stadium

When this show inevitably gets released this will finally get the love and attention it deserves. For now, rest easy my child with only 5 votes
The Other One
Sept. 21, 1973
The Spectrum

Underrated as hell. The whole sequence of He's Gone>Truckin'>O1>Wharf>Row Jimmy deserves to be heard in its entirety
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
March 21, 1991
Capital Centre

Extremely solid show opener - vocals and playing are on point
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It should be criminal to open a show with this much funtastic energy
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 21, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Exquisite jam in between leading up to Rider - March of '81 has some great China>IKYR's
