Portland Memorial Coliseum

High-energy playin' from the boys. Great Garcia solos and Phil bombs.

New Potato Caboose
May 5, 1967
Fillmore Auditorium

Electric cool-aid acid version from the beginning of the Summer of Love. You can actually get body waves from listening to this one. Love the organ.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

A truly heady version from fall '79. Brent's key-clicking Rhodes piano and Jerry's beautiful solo make this my favorite version. TIGHT performance.

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

A bit rough around the edges but BALLS OUT energy the whole way through. An incredible performance with Jerry belting it out.

Crazy unique FOTM intro jam, unlike any other version I've heard. LOVE '78!

Perfectly played from start to finish.
He's Gone
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

I can confirm that Jerry and the band were completely whacked for this show. If you ever get the chance, check out the liner notes from the Winterland '77 boxed set. There is a photo of Bobby...you must see. 8~0

Frost Amphitheatre

HOLY COW.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Not a fan of this song really, but this one is just exactly perfect.
