Sharp, delightful version. Supercharged Keith’s melodic lines will keep you guessing.

Do not miss! Jerry and Billy delicately dance across this while Phil subtly challenges the stability.

Very cohesive version with a noticeable snap. And Phil’s prominent in the recording.

Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space

Downs of Santa Fe

Vivid Drums followed by extraordinary Space: a bright, melodic Bob and Jerry jam, then bicycle horns and a rich TOO intro jam.

Yup, both the intro jam from Space and the outro jam, which is essentially a bonus Playin' jam, are fire. One of my absolute favorites.

I'm going to echo the "this one of the tightest versions ever." Sublimity is subjective, but this is objectively very well played. Musicians' Dead.

By Sept. '76 this song is really stretching out and realizing its potential. Compares pretty favorably to the '77s: a little sweeter and more delicate, less sweeping and grand.

Crystalline beauty. Love the lilting way Keith plays in '76, too.
He's Gone

Cardinal Stadium

Blistering bluesy jam morphs into Other One-esque maelstrom. From a jamming perspective, among the best ever.
