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.

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.

Playin' In The Band
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

Around 7:00 (on the listed source) Keith bombards the band and Garcia takes up the offer. Intricate and complex, incredibly packed. This show is filled with outstanding playing!
Bird Song

Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

Huge! After listening to the Veneta version for a while, this one fills the same place - and more.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 3, 1976
Cobo Arena

On the aud.warner source, the user "npjg" left a pretty good comment regarding the quality of this show. It's almost too perfect - especially the second set. The highlight is this sandwich!
Dancin' in the Streets
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena

Billy, Mickey and Phil lock into the Cosmic Charlie tease at about 9 minutes, since Bobby played a lick just before. They leave it quickly when Garcia pushes the return to the theme. Cool version, but not the best of the 1970 versions.
New Potato Caboose
Dec. 7, 1968
Bellarmine College

Really underrated show.
