Darkness Jam
May 7, 1970
DuPont Gym - MIT

The first one, (maybe not, unheard tapes are being released Dave’s Picks Vol 6), this Darkness Jam is in the middle of an amazing Lovelight.

Darkness Jam
July 31, 1971
Yale Bowl, Yale University

Starting at the 7:55 minute mark of GDTR, again very short, but a beautiful Darkness Jam. On RT Vol. 1 No. 3, give it a listen.

He's Gone
Nov. 4, 1979
Civic Center

Very sublime into by Lesh start this soulful He’s Gone. The jam that follows breaks down to pure chaos, Fall ’79 rules again.

Morning Dew
Sept. 17, 1982
Cumberland County Civic Center

Hard to believe this version has not been nominated, one of the beat from ’82, Jerry in strong voice, Phil bombs. Good matrix out now as well.

Here Comes Sunshine
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Another great version from the fall of ’73, in the opener slot to boot, can’t wait to hear the rest of the show.
Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 9, 1973
Winterland Arena

Outstanding version, just silky smooth. Nov / Dec ’73 has my favorite versions of HCS, this one needs more votes. On par with 11/14 San Diego and 11/17 UCLA versions.
Shakedown Street
Oct. 31, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Another great version from the fall of ’79, the jam builds very slow and steady, driven by some great keyboards by Brent, but the band never peaks like 10/25 New Haven, but still very good. This version should have more votes, give it a listen.
Shakedown Street
Oct. 25, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

The best Shakedown from the fall of ’79 issued on RT Vol. 1 No, 1, sadly the only song from a great show that made it on this Road Trips, every show on the Sept & Oct East Coast tours are worth seeking out.
Jack Straw
July 2, 1988
Oxford Plains Speedway

Phil was definitely sending a message, “Wake Up Jerry” after a lackadaisical Iko Iko opener. The mix was also weird at the beginning, hard to get your levels right with Phil hammering it home. A must listen for any Jack Straw / Phil fan but not really not on par with some of the other amazing Jack Straw’s from ’78 thru 1980, even a few from ’84 beat this one IMHO.
