Playin' In The Band
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

Jahrhunderthalle

Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Saint of Circumstance

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Freight train of energy

Phil bombs ruined my living room. Definitive version

The most unique 'Comes a Time' ever. 15 min of bliss
Morning Dew
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Doesn't get much better than this. Jerry's voice and playing are so emotive. Great version. Some songs are better with a weathered Jerry voice of the late 80's early 90's. Dew is one of them. More fragile beauty and vulnerability than healthy early 70's versions.

The Omni

Love this version. Stir it up jam is the balls

My go-to version. Incredibly creative jam
