Good Lovin'

The Palladium

I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Wharf Rat
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

Drums

RFK Stadium

The Drums is fine/good, but this one is great to cleary hear some spunion shout "holy fucking, SHIT!" on the SBD. Someone's mind = blown... Priceless

Bird Song

Giants Stadium

Very inspired playing. Jazzy swing from the rhythm devils, Lesh is barreling down the low end, and Jerry dancing the leads to a powerful conclusion

The Wheel

The Spectrum

Really dig the 1-2 min jam into Playin’. Some interesting stuff going on
Eyes Of The World
July 14, 1990
Foxboro Stadium

Great eyes. Phil and Jerry driving hard in 2nd to last jam so nicely, both throwing down their lines and gelling.
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Feb. 11, 1969
Fillmore East

Def short, but serious bouncy blues. Pig in fine form
Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

Blasts off new years celebrations right out of the gate! The only version played in '71 and last one until '76. Smoldering energy
Uncle John's Band
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

My favorite out of the spring '77 shows and top 3 for me all time. Dusted this off today and it's like putting on an old sweater that fits just exactly perfect. Awesome segue in from a dream-like PITB, and the final several min are just full band locked in power. Looove this show
