Don't Ease Me In

Kiel Auditorium

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Madison Square Garden

Aka Lunatic Preserve. A hair-raising, spontaneous meltdown bridging SOTM and Miracle.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 5, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Very substantial jam develops out of the AWBYGN passage before the return to NFA.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

Very tight performance that’s still packed with holiday run excitement. The Miller/Clugston board sounds great for the era, too.

Warfield Theater

Jerry repeats an interesting pattern during the main jam section that Brent picks up on later (using the marimba patch!).

Deal
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

I expect that this one will get a lot more votes after people hear the official release. It’s fiery and also has excellent phrasing and more Phil than some early ’80s shows.
Space
Aug. 6, 1982
St. Paul Civic Center

This is an incredible Space, both because of the Other One/Eleven jam and because of the meltdown before.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Aug. 6, 1982
St. Paul Civic Center

Fantastic second set!
Promised Land
June 22, 1976
Tower Theatre

Jerry’s playing is extremely exuberant on this one! Great version of the best Berry tune.
He's Gone
Oct. 9, 1977
McNichols Arena

This is really good. The tempo doesn’t drag, the harmonies are sweet, and the outro is explosive, albeit short. Check out the whole sequence from Estimated on.
