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!

A beautiful performance.
Let It Grow
Aug. 7, 1982
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Low Phil in the mix, as per usual in '82, but his massive bombs roar through. Probably the most energetic performance I've heard.
Row Jimmy

Fox Theatre

Jerry's solos will take you on a trip to heaven.
Ramble On Rose
Sept. 12, 1991
Madison Square Garden

This is one of the only MIDI version of this song that I enjoy.
Wharf Rat
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

The "Big River" following this is needed to pull you back down to earth after hearing this.
