Space
April 3, 1982
The Scope

This brief Space is more of an extended Jerry-led intro to NFA, and it's way cool. This show is out of sight.

Bird Song
June 13, 1994
Memorial Stadium

Adventurous, somewhat dissonant jam from a fairly strong first set. Fans of Welnick-era improv should check this out.

Its All Over Now
Nov. 10, 1985
Meadowlands Arena

Rowdy but still sharply played. Check out this superb first set.

Row Jimmy
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

Intense and electrifying, highlighted perhaps by Jerry’s vocal performance. Another amazing June ’76 Row Jimmy.

I Need A Miracle
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

Hot early version with a well-developed Jerry-led outro jam. Check out the amazing Joann Walker recording.

Ramble On Rose
Sept. 29, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Intense, heartfelt, and beautifully sung by all. One of the better late ’70s versions I’ve heard.
Eyes Of The World
Aug. 12, 1979
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Phil’s bombs, Bobby’s harmonics, Brent’s intricately darting runs, Jerry letting himself be drawn Out, finally Rhythm Devils-enhanced Space ... it’s all here. Wow.
Truckin'
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum

Fresh and intriguing outro jam here! Don’t just listen to the S>F.
Easy To Love You
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum

I am not surprised to see this version at the top. I was really charmed by Brent's soloing in this, but the whole performance is very well done.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 15, 1972
Boston Music Hall

Holy. Smokes. Wickedly psychedelic without ever losing precision, clarity, or focus. One of Keith’s most creative performances ever, maybe? Jerry is conversational and in total command. The ensemble playing is stunning. Don’t hesitate. Just listen.
