Playin' In The Band

San Jose Civic Auditorium

A good cure for those 'No 'Cid Blues'. This one is a gem.

Fox Theater

Part of the first Playin' sandwich. The transition back into Playin' is like the cops kicking your door in at 4 a.m. it is so sudden and surprising.

Manhattan Center

An aural honeypot capping a dynamite show.

Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

A breezy and pleasant intro gives way to a monstrous intra-verse portion that features some 'Uncle John's Band'-themed jamming.

Dark Star

Cleveland Public Hall

Serene, frenetic, diffuse, cluttered--in short, this one goes through more changes than David Bowie's hair. Pheatures a phleshed out 'Philo Stomp'.

Bertha
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

A song that I feel was good in each part of its iteration. Jerry's solo in this version is quite accomplished and kinda goes outside in a sweetly melodic way, something that later in the decade he would maybe abandon in his solo on 'Bertha' but use on that in 'TLEO', albeit slowed down.

May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Way underrated. Features some nice stuff, all recorded in multitrack.

Captain Trips Vintage 1980.
Estimated Prophet
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

One of the all-time great 'EP'>'Eyes' transitions.
Eyes Of The World

Omaha Civic Auditorium

One of the all-time great 'EP'>'Eyes' transitions. Tablet double-post.
