Caution
March 12, 1966
Danish Center

Pigpen drives hard here, harmonica all the way. Early fireball, only giving us a glimpse of what Caution would turn into in only a year!

Really bluesy, love the Guild Starfire sound Jer had here. Flows into a groovy early Caution.

Winterland Arena

Jazz. Just plain jazz. Keith really shines together with Billy on this one, they carry you away in the nicest way. How the he** is this not listed?

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 9, 1972
Winterland Arena

Bill jazzes on throughout the transition, and the jam goes just a little bit furhter than before. Cool version with a laid back IKYR.

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Aug. 24, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

Love the slowing down in tempo from a raging Eleven. The echo of the Shrine Auditorium really makes each notes of Jerrys guitar sting you. But in a good way.
The Other One
April 21, 1972
Beat Club

The youtube video is by far better in sound than the archive links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Uu57h7H18 I just have to comment here again; the Truckin > Other One sequence here is top 5 of all time, its so focused and exploratory, and the short but divine jam after the second verse of TOO is so inspired, amazing playing.
Morning Dew
Dec. 31, 1972
Winterland Arena

Jerrys voice is so emotional and seemless in this version, one of my favourites.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This grooves alright. Thanks Grendel!
Good Lovin'
