Feb. 24, 1973
University of Iowa

This one emerges from a Phil solo. There are only two fragments of this show on the archive.

Brother Esau

City Island

Sometimes hard to tell one from another. But whatever. This one is good. It's from City Island, which should have been a cool spot to watch a show.

Hampton Coliseum

There is some magic post rio grandeo.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Aug. 14, 1981
Seattle Center Coliseum

Strike another match, go start anew: First one in 7 years. Sweet and slow, like the dozens to follow in the 80s and 90s.

Shea's Theater

Not the greatest ever or anything, but check out that liquid transition from TOO.
St. Stephen
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This is the end of an era. It's not my favorite song, but this one is great and it doesn't sound this good when it returns.
The Music Never Stopped
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

"The jazzy-spacey mid section jam," as deadhoe69 says, is killer on this version. It's hard to see what this one is missing except the SBD. There's something for everybody.
Row Jimmy
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

This is my go to row jimmy. Admittedly, this is one of the 6 disks stuck in the time machine car/cd player I spin around in. But the double time at the end is stellar - this was a great road trip.

To some this is not a real DS, but I gotta say this is gorgeous - no paralysis or bugs crawling, just beautiful flow.
