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.

This is The Dead at peak performance level. Cataclysmic version. Everyone is ON. Explorative and not a beat missed. Easily top 5 of 69.

I am floored. Jerry is an absolute mad man on the loose fully pushing his playing to the absolute limit and THEN some. One of the most well played Truckin’s all throughout. Lots of subtle dynamic shifts during the verses that add so much character to this blues infested jam. Genuinely one of the best I’ve ever heard.

Enunciated vocals from Jerry are always a treat. Haunting keys that emulate the rocking of a ship at sea. Great passionate version.

Thank you Gyln. Spells get cast, dragons slain, and hyperspace archived, I personally couldn’t ask more from a Playin’ jam. Brilliant use of timing from Jerry, his playing is particularly inspired this night, showing his wit and playfulness while revealing his musically virtuosic chaotic nature. Never really loses focus and gets deep, enveloping you in shades of blue and purple colors. Incredible version. Also listen closely and you’ll understand why Keith was the missing piece. Some of his best playing here. I didn’t know you well Glyn but I was instantly enamored by the sheer amount of contributions you’ve made to this site. I’m new here but I’m happy to come across your posts and comments that carry such enthusiasm for the music we all love. Spinning this one for you.

Wonderful inventive playing from Keith. Super solid performance with a great middle jam.

Still one of my favorites. A walk through an open field with the stars all dancing up above, this one is a keeper. Beautiful version.
