Don't Ease Me In
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

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

Space

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.

Throwing Stones

Warfield Theater

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

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.
