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!

Very nice & fast version. Jerry’s solos are like butter

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!

Madison Square Garden

Nic trippy guitar from Bob, flashes of Bird Song from Jerry, bird sounds, 12 minutes of bliss
China Doll

Madison Square Garden

This show was always a favorite of mine, so I had to grab the box set. Sound-wise, it’s surprisingly full and well balanced. Performance-wise, it speaks for itself. Some of the most harrowing yet beautiful playing from Jer
Here Comes Sunshine
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

Real standout from the new Dave’s Picks. Jerry is shimmering, great Bob and Phil interplay/synchronization in the jam. Last version until the 90s, went out with a bang!
Brokedown Palace
May 1, 1977
The Palladium

Beautiful solo, one of Jerry’s best on this song. Hard to believe this is an almost 3 year bust-out, it’s played to perfection!
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

The new Seamons matrix really brings this version to life. A total group effort, but Jerry & Brent are extra present on this version. Edges out 9/2/83 for me, another top version from this year
