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

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.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

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!

The middle jam is excellent.
Here Comes Sunshine

Short, but incredibly psychedelic.

St. Stephen tease during the ending Jer solo.
Here Comes Sunshine

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Technically, far from perfect—but man, this one will kick you in the teeth. Super heavy Phil zone and blasts of energy.

Holy cow. I have heard great performances of this song before, but this one has bumped the others off the top of the leader board. Great show all around too.
