Feelin' Groovy Jam

University of Iowa

This one emerges from a Phil solo. There are only two fragments of this show on the archive.

City Island

Sometimes hard to tell one from another. But whatever. This one is good. It's from City Island, which should have been a cool spot to watch a show.

Hampton Coliseum

There is some magic post rio grandeo.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Seattle Center Coliseum

Strike another match, go start anew: First one in 7 years. Sweet and slow, like the dozens to follow in the 80s and 90s.

Comes A Time
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

I just got this in the mail and this was the first thing I cued up. I wholeheartedly endorse the thoughts of the other commenters. Listen quickly.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

I first heard this in 1999 and it's been my favorite since then. It's all about Jerry in the pearly's been true section. I bet this one will get a bump from the July 78 box.
Terrapin Station

The Spectrum

If you like this song, you should hear this one, if only for the fact that this is number 6. The aesthetic is sweet, but this is not the best one ever.

Yes, it's short - I cannot lie. It's also perfect in a number of respects and you'd better hope you get some gapless playback as it goes into the sixth terrapin ever - because that 20 seconds or so are some awesome (quiet) stuff.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

The start is sloppy and this is the second song of the spring 77 tour. But order is restored and everything else gets a little extra effort to make up for the missed verse. The pre and post rio grandeo guitar is unique - a recommended listen for those who like 77 half step.
