Let It Grow

Hampton Coliseum

Lightning quick yet totally on-track riffs from Jerry; intense, powerful version. Weir 100% into it. Segues into killer Deal. Trust me. Must hear.

Perfect wind up, pitch & strike down the middle. I've yet to hear a better one, though I'll try some of the recs here. Til then.....

Nice early Brent version played w/the slower cadence of the late 70's style.
Playin' In The Band
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Agreed. This whole show has that perfect May '77 vibe of flow, ease and serenity. This is a great '77 PITB...only wish they hadn't hit some sour notes on the reprise b/c that's beautiful as well right up until they misfire on the return to the main theme.

Very nice RJ indeed but there is an absolutely brutal cut during Jerry's 2nd solo on the SBD.
Ramble On Rose
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Flawless, clean, powerful, vocally perfect rendition and Jerry clearly is having a great time, singing: "Just like OLD Wolfman Jack!" Very underrated version.
Stella Blue
April 21, 1978
Rupp Arena

Hey ChinaCat, Try 10/21/78 a couple slots down (should be higher) for a killer Stella outro.
