The band tries to catch Jerry and wolf as they’re seemingly on the loose. Traversing through snowy mountaintops. A wonderful journey.

Brent’s organ takes this to another level. I’m partial towards the Pigpen Version, but this shines in its own ways. Lovely phrasing from Jerry as well

Shocked to not see this here yet. Absolute scorcher from a really great show. Jerry’s tone cuts through like a scorching hot knife. Skin your wife.

Coming out of He's Gone. Billy goes ham, hitting the drums like a machine gun.

A mighty a primal drum section reminiscent of the early acid test days. Follows after a rare Cryptical and breaks through into The Other One.

Jack A Roe

Auditorium Theatre

Yeah, this is a good one. I always love a great Jack a Roe and this certainly qualifies. The music embodies the words.
The Other One
June 12, 1970
Civic Auditorium

MONSTEROUS. The drums after cryptical are completely demented and full of unnatural power. Mickey and Bill embody the Ouroboros. Very formless, at times reminds me of My Favorite Things. Love Bobby's energy on this too. Plain awesome. The drum solo made my day. Thank you for the suggestion cgarces.
Eyes Of The World
June 28, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Start from here to experience a truly life changing jam. Blissful Eyes that really gets out there. A whirlwind of imaginative melodic ideas that leads into a deep jam introduced by Phil with his monumental tone as the drummers take us into deep space, only for us to find that happiness is indeed drumming. Stellar. Check out Hunters Trix for the best sounding version of this show.

Why I love the Grateful Goddamn Dead.

Hofheinz Pavilion

Glorious China>Rider. Keith tears the house down as you can feel the entire band catching on to this wave of energy. So good.
