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

Dusted off this show for the walk to work and morning's activities. Such a beautiful version here. Top shelf show all around
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Winterland Arena

Oh hell yeah! Was just posting for the NFA - Excellent segment
The Music Never Stopped
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Sorry I haven't commented on this earlier. Version is definitive - spacey, then very solid peak. Show has been one of my favorites from '78 since day 1. Excellent pick!
Casey Jones

Paramount Theatre

It cannot be overstated how incredible this jam is. Leaps and bounds the best Casey Jones around. Listen, rinse, repeat.
Here Comes Sunshine
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

Phew, this one is a powerhouse. Different than a lot of HCSS. My go to version has always been 12/19/73, but I will go to this version for far different reasons. Had this show since jumpstreet, but never recalled this jam. Nice post!
