The Other One
Oct. 13, 1972
Small Club in North SF

Previous unheard recording of Phil bombing a small club in SF for around 8 minutes. More than worth a listen!

Rubin and Cherise
Nov. 3, 1978
Keystone Palo Alto

Nice funky R&C. Also happens to be the last JGB show w/ Keith & Donna. Love Jer’s vox(especially “I’ve been afraid and I don’t know why I do). Heady!

Eyes Of The World
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Really love the opening jam on this one. Has a ‘74 like jam, and it goes on for around 8 minutes before the singing starts. Goes into a very good Let it Grow
Terrapin Station
Nov. 6, 1979
The Spectrum

79 Terrapins are the best. Jerry’s vocals combined with the slow pace they often played it at this year makes for an great experience. Like an old man telling a compelling story
Touch of Grey
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

Very upbeat and punchy version. Sounds very good on the most recent Dave’s from a few months ago
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 10, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Really great Help>Skip!>Franklins. The Tobin matrix is insane in sound quality. The Slipknot! is very jazzy, with Keith adding a lot to the version. Comparable to the 6/19 version as far as spaceyness goes. Very good versions of these tunes
On The Road Again
Dec. 6, 1980
Mill Valley Recreation Center

Probably the cleanest acoustic version I’ve heard. Nice aud of this show. Give it a listen!
