Civic Arena
The Brent-driven portion of the jam is downright smoldering. The rest of the band can't resist getting in on the action.

Dancin' in the Streets
Nov. 2, 1969
Family Dog at the Great Highway
A lost masterpiece, now restored on the new Dave's Picks! The once-missing jam is a face-stealer.

Not Fade Away
Dec. 17, 1992
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
A searing hot jam with lots of Phil and aggressive work from Weir. Underrated.

Hurts Me Too
Aug. 24, 1971
Auditorium Theatre
An uncommonly spirited organ solo from Pigpen augmented by searing leads from Jerry make this one stand out.

Let It Grow
Oct. 26, 1980
Radio City Music Hall
What this one lacks in deep exploration, it more than makes up for in exceptionally tight playing and strong vocals. A top-shelf performance from all.

The Spectrum
The jam portion has a lot of interesting contributions from the full band, especially Brent. A rewarding version.
Don't Ease Me In
Oct. 19, 1973
Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena
Phil and Keith are really dialed in. This version is far from another first set throwaway.
Looks Like Rain
Oct. 19, 1973
Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena
This one just glides along beautifully. Everyone is in full control of their space.
Candyman
Oct. 8, 1989
Hampton Coliseum
This one has the spirit of a great version but ultimately fails to deliver. At the outset, they sound primed to knock this one out of the park. That's not what happens though --- great onstage energy and sound can't eclipse the multiple flubs.
Morning Dew
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium
Bob and Phil are actually the heroes on this one.
