Allan Kirby Field House

Why isn't this here? Cippolina chips in to make this a unique, and fully voiced Peter.

Insanely huge Jed. This is where this show really starts to take off

MONSTER two-keyboard version, with Bob just nailing it to the wall emotionally.

My first trip to The Station. The massive post-song jam had me mesmerized.

Midnight Hour

Dance Hall

To quote Jerry, (re: Johnny B. Goode) "This is the one it's all about, folks..." Primal Dead at it's drippy, awkward, lumbering best. Jer's got the late '67 Les Paul tone that I love so much, and Pigpen's at his match-making, crowd-exhorting, frontman best. Hang onto your hats, you guys.
Playin' In The Band

Concertgebouw

They do "get weird" indeed. Wow, these Europe '72 Playin's were somethin ELSE!

Heady 13 minute version I got from 30DoD 2013.
Comes A Time
Oct. 30, 1971
Taft Auditorium

I really love these early ones with the extra verse Jerry dropped later. Great vocal delivery on this one...

Winterland Arena

Spinning this (DP10) now for the 40th anniversary of this show today. Really nice one! Wolf's tone over the TB gives this one an edge over the May giants, at least for me. Jerry really gets to fannin' some flames in the middle solo. This one is titanic.
