Second set opener, packs a dreamy middle jam and a nice finale into Playin’

Terrapin Station
Aug. 15, 1981
Memorial Coliseum
Even through the murky recording you can hear how delicate, powerful and trippy this version is. Great jam into drums

Estimated Prophet
July 17, 1982
Ventura County Fairgrounds
Fun 80s version with a nice middle jam that fizzles out “like a Switch watch” according to Bobby, ends with a gooey jam into drums

The Eleven
Dec. 26, 1981
Oakland Auditorium
There’s a gentle build to the actual Eleven jam that is just...gorgeous. Emotive and unique, and the Eleven part is fiery stuff
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 26, 1981
Oakland Auditorium
Following an equally astounding Scarlet>Fire, this Estimated really brings the goods. Faster than your average version, not a missed note, and some godlike interplay between the boys. Don’t miss this one.
Drums -> Space
Jan. 11, 1978
Shrine Auditorium
A short drums segment with Phil that leads into an extended jazzy full band jam before St. Stephen. Unique and beautiful.
The Other One
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium
If the board was a bit cleaner and there wasn’t that unfortunate AUD cut, this would be much more highly regarded. If you can hang around for the ride, it’s a real mind twister with poignant, fluid jams to boot.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 22, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre
Contemplative, jazzy and exploratory. The band is fully locked in, with Billy fully in the pocket. The jam builds into simmering tones of molten heat without ever fully erupting. I like this one for its measured, tempered feel and there is an elegant, organic way the band ebbs and flows together. Give this a listen.
