Kiel Auditorium

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Aka Lunatic Preserve. A hair-raising, spontaneous meltdown bridging SOTM and Miracle.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 5, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Very substantial jam develops out of the AWBYGN passage before the return to NFA.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

Very tight performance that’s still packed with holiday run excitement. The Miller/Clugston board sounds great for the era, too.

Warfield Theater

Jerry repeats an interesting pattern during the main jam section that Brent picks up on later (using the marimba patch!).

Coliseum Arena

Do not overlook this version. Equals or surpasses the other versions from '89-'91. Incredible molten jam.
Looks Like Rain

Boston Music Hall

I couldn't believe how good this version is. Can sometimes take or leave the song, but this is INCREDIBLE.

Lille Fairgrounds

Tight, melodic, lovely. This one really grabbed my attention.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

No kidding! Thunderous, yet melodic. Try it -- you'll like it.
Dire Wolf

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Good version, but I believe it's played electric.
