Playin' In The Band

Capital Centre

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.

Dark Star
May 18, 1972
Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

The German audience was hypnotized this night. A deep dive into the void and all that encompasses it. This took me a while to get the first time around, but the more I listen the more it opened itself up. A spiraling descent into ancient archaic realms that the band have no problem traversing. The bands sinks deep into the abyss as the wizardry and magic of the Dead take hold and puts the audience into a spellbinding trance. What a Dark Star. Subtle.

The musical equivalent of an earthquake. Absolute madness. Criminally underrated.

Use this as evidence if anyone says telepathy isn't real. A truly grotesque whirlwind of sound all melding together to create a cacophony of psychosis inducing schizophrenic jamming. I find it hard to truly capture the scope of this behemoth.
Weather Report Suite
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Check out this whole jam sequence when you have the chance. Replaying this one for my 4th of July celebrations. Best version by far.
