Stupidly heavy, shades of early heavy metal on this one. Incredible controlled chaos that explores so much. A very tight version.

Phil joyously expresses himself on this. A gun shot is heard on this one signaling a jam, and the William Tell Bridge is really well played. Excellent

Sandwiched between Truckin’ and Eyes, this jam takes me to checkerboard floors and red curtains. Deserves its own place. Unique Jerry lines.

I adore any version of this tune. This one is particularly joyful and full of life.

Bouncy as it is lysergic. Unique phrasing from Jerry. Everybody’s vocals are on. The Rider is some pure country fried jamming if I’ve ever heard it.

Playin' In The Band

Cleveland Music Hall

Machine gun Jerry. Absolutely wonderful and incredibly playful jamming. Genuinely explorative and has Jerry painting with fast strokes of his brush. Wolf is let loose and finds his way down Shakedown Street. Incredible all timer of a second set. Tastiest of sandwiches.
Good Lovin'

Winterland Arena

Transcendent jamming. Genuinely one of the best Good Lovin’s ever played even without the CCS. What a ride. Will come back to this till the end of time.
The Other One
March 22, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Smoking craters. A jazz clinic that has pure magic embedded into the music. An elastic ping pong jam ensues which has the lads exploring vast fantasy like landscapes. What a jam. Hugely underrated. The stuff of legends.
Truckin'

bzfgt, you are 100% correct that Darkstar is 100% right that Ragnaroar is 100% correct about your assertion. What a Truckin’

Fox Theater

A stroll through the land of the dead and a peak behind the veil. The jamming is so ethereal and swirls with such ghostly intensity. A beautiful, otherworldly and paranormal jam that possesses the band and takes everyone through a life altering musical sequence of death and rebirth. This is one of the very first shows I ever owned on CD, and it has changed my life for the better.
