Let It Grow
June 14, 1985
Greek Theater

Spectacular depth, detail, and feeling. Drummers drive the transitions, while Jerry offers cool rhythmic variations.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 5, 1969
Fillmore West

Exploratory transition jam! Very different from most early versions. Has that anarchic ’60s energy.

Practically flawless early version played with focus and intensity.

Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 5, 1969
Fillmore West

High-velocity, high-power jamming magic, all packed into less than nine minutes. Intense. From a wonderful overlooked show.

Fillmore West

Very well played and sung! Pity about the audience member humming along out of tune, but otherwise a fine ’69 AUD.

Shakedown Street
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

A true team effort that shows off the jamming chemistry of 1989.
New Minglewood Blues
Aug. 19, 1980
Uptown Theatre

This is one of the best versions I’ve heard. 1980 is such an amazing — and too often overlooked — year.
Truckin'
Oct. 14, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Chilled-out ambient space into Drums. Very cool and different.
Playin' In The Band
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium

Ample demonstration of the jamming magic of Brent’s last year.
Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

Hadn't heard this in a long time, then listened yesterday for the 50th anniversary and wooooooow. Jerry — is — on — fire. No wonder this one is ranked so high!
