Playin' In The Band
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

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

Morning Dew
Oct. 18, 1972
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.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 5, 1971
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
Oct. 28, 1972
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'.

Not Fade Away
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

At once lush and succinct.
The Other One
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

In just under 10 minutes this one manages to cover a lot of nice territory.
Wharf Rat
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

This one has got a very nice ass.
Let It Grow
Sept. 19, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Crystalline and gummy, all at once. Followed up, too, by a nice transition jam into Drums.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

'Foundational'--Nick Paumgarten, The New Yorker. This is one of the pillars upon which this legendary show rests.
