Space
April 3, 1982
The Scope

This brief Space is more of an extended Jerry-led intro to NFA, and it's way cool. This show is out of sight.

Bird Song
June 13, 1994
Memorial Stadium

Adventurous, somewhat dissonant jam from a fairly strong first set. Fans of Welnick-era improv should check this out.

Its All Over Now
Nov. 10, 1985
Meadowlands Arena

Rowdy but still sharply played. Check out this superb first set.

Row Jimmy
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

Intense and electrifying, highlighted perhaps by Jerry’s vocal performance. Another amazing June ’76 Row Jimmy.

I Need A Miracle
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

Hot early version with a well-developed Jerry-led outro jam. Check out the amazing Joann Walker recording.

Beat it on Down The Line
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle

It's not just you. This version was one of my early go-tos (you know, when I wanted to hear BIODTL).
Cumberland Blues

Dillon Stadium

*pure country twang
Dark Star
Dec. 11, 1969
Thelma Theater

I love the space after the first verse vocals. Like proto-Sonic Youth. Very heady.
St. Stephen
Dec. 11, 1969
Thelma Theater

Nice long jam following William Tell. Phil is thunderous.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 16, 1992
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Very enjoyable '90s Playin' -- I was impressed! The whole band really is on throughout the whole thing.
