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

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.
The Other One
Sept. 9, 1972
Hollywood Palladium

lift off is achieved, the band is in full x-factor mode and some true magic happens. absolutely breathtaking
The Eleven
July 7, 1969
Piedmont Park

Incredibly melodic and stretched out for an Eleven jam, this is a powerfully unique version. Underrated for sure
Estimated Prophet
April 6, 1978
Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Listening to the matrix and the energy is insane. The boys are really on here. Jerry just demolishes the solo peak and the transition into He's Gone is flawless. good lord
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
April 6, 1978
Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Incredibly high energy throughout with maybe the single best transition into the Supplication jam (not the verse) I've heard yet. They really nail this one.
