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.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Feb. 5, 1978
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 Other One
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

Miles Davis-esque funky jam at around the 12:00 min mark. Love it.
Wharf Rat
Oct. 7, 1977
University of New Mexico

Very good, but I don't see how this beats 5/7/1977.
The Other One
April 11, 1972
Newcastle City Hall

This is a fully dosed version of "The Other One." It took three gels. "Feelin' Groovy Jim" is the icing on the cake, but check out the total meltdown jam that rages before it.
They Love Each Other
Oct. 19, 1973
Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

This one is IT for me.
Touch of Grey
Sept. 20, 1993
Madison Square Garden

This one bursts right out of the gate. Great energy, but not rushed in any way. Jerry playing Lightning Bolt and Phil in his zone. Fantastic performance.
