Pickled.

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Came to write how this jam wrecked a few guardrails at the exit ramp with its abrupt high-speed departure... then saw the above comment. Analogous analogies. Nobody got hurt, but this version deserves more votes.
Truckin'

Giants Stadium

Yup, we hope the fun is pursued and explored by some or all of them, as these adventures in other shows at this point lead to unique jams rather than taking the collective kneel. Get in the groove... see for example Saint 11/2/79
Dark Star
Nov. 5, 1970
Capitol Theater

Delivers the welcomed drippy, psychedelic ice-cream cone to the head. Integral member of the whole 1970 family joyride of Dark Stars… featuring the shit-eating grin of 6/24 at the wheel.
Bird Song
Dec. 31, 1987
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Had to go way down to find this one lurking here. 87 is really strong. Top-form for these musicians right here. Brings the listener right in. Shall we go… and jump off the platform? A quick side-step here, an escalation there, more musical chips tossed into the middle by each and for all. Consumption. Ascension. And more. Ah yes, this is why we came. Push this higher and higher. No rush. But it all happens so fast. Super-engagement. …Don’t cry now… but it’s that good.
