Drums -> Space

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Billy and Mickey play together like they were a big octopus on this one. 'The Wheel' comes rolling nicely out of 'Space'. Altogether, a G-rated D>P.

An '82 vintage Playin' sandwich that finds the boys playin' in fine form. DP 32.

Jerry really belts this one out. All of the attention to detail that you'd expect in a version from this era plus a good bridge solo.

An enjoyable listen, but most notable, I'd say, for an excellent little peak that rises up like a volcano towards the end of the jam.

They Love Each Other

Boston Music Hall

A good, light and airy version that shows quite well what this song was up to near the end of its first year in the rotation.

The last is second-best: 6/24/70 first, and then this, as the two 'Tighten' Up's that bear the most/biggest/best fruit out of all those lovely 'Tighten' Up's, methinks.
Truckin'

Salt Palace

Top shelf 'Truckin'' from '73.
Dancin' in the Streets
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Goes in directions those of '77 don't, and does so quite nicely.

Big time stuff.

On what was tied for my earliest tape well before LAGTGD ever was a thing. This one gets me going Pavlonian, in some psychedelic sense. Get what Carrion is saying, and so I think of this along with Shrine '68 and Thelma '69 as three of the highwaters from certain respective eras of this tune.
