Loser

Alexandra Palace

Phil drops some serious bombs to complement Jerry’s ringing leads.

Pretty Peggy O
Aug. 24, 1980
Grand Center

Jerry’s solo is a fountain of melodic exuberance, reminiscent of the BEW earlier in the set.

Wharf Rat
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Worth switching to the AUD to hear the explosive ending after the SBD cuts out. Just awe-inspiring.

Drums -> Space
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

The Spectrum

It Must Have Been The Roses
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater

Exquisitely played, and the sound of this Seamons matrix is to die for.
The Other One
Nov. 23, 1973
County Coliseum

This brain-rattling is exactly what I needed to get through a trying afternoon.
Morning Dew
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Volcanic eruption. Cataclysmic.
Good Lovin'
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

There’s a lot to love here despite the relative brevity, not least of which is that sassy late ’69 – early ’70 cowbell I can’t get enough of.
Wharf Rat
Dec. 6, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Wow, this is … where did this come from? Vastly more developed than most other early versions. Edgier and more interesting than many played later.
