Beat it on Down The Line
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Not just high-energy but a little manic and dangerous. Listen for some sneaky fills by Keith.

Uncle John's Band

Carter-Finley Stadium

Some very impressive jamming in this Playin' > Uncle John's > Playin' from Brent's last month on the road.

Soulful outro in perfect five-part counterpoint.

Wild, anarchic jam before the transition the transition back to NFA, replete with Jerry harmonics and Phil bombs.

Around and Around
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

I’ll echo that. Around and Around is not one of my favorites, so believe me when I say this one is worth hearing.
Truckin'
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Crisp but hard-charging jam. LTGTR > Truckin’ > Touch is a hell of a way to open a show!
Uncle John's Band
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

You think you know where it’s gonna go ... you don’t! This one really manages to surprise.
Terrapin Station
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

This one is firmly in “oh my god” territory. Set aside any preconceived notions about the “sameness” of Terrapin in ’77 and go along for the ride.
Beat it on Down The Line

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Gets the upvote for Keith’s sneaky-pete piano runs alone. Damn, what a show!
