So much attention has been lavished on the Bill Graham and Dick’s shows that I decided to select jams from the week in between the three-night stands for this week’s playlist. Additionally, I chose to skirt any jams I have featured in articles or have written about specifically, so hopefully there is something new for everyone in today’s selections. Enjoy the weekend!
***
“Tweezer > Piper” 8.22 II, Kansas City, MO
The phenomenal one-two punch that kicked off set two at Starlight Theatre.
***
“Twist” 8.29 II, Oklahoma City, OK
This “Twist” provided a gorgeous interlude in an otherwise underwhelming show.
***
“Sand -> Walk Away” 8.28 II, St. Louis, MO
A scorching version that squeezed between “Undermind” and “Walk Away” in St. Louis.
***
“Reba” 8.28 I, St. Louis, MO
Both “Rebas” of Leg Two came right at the beginning of their respective shows, this one—the better of the two—as the fourth song in St. Louis.
***
“Crosseyed > McGrupp” 8.26 II, Charlotte, NC
This smoking Sunday night combo sparked kick set two in North Carolina.
***
“Stash” 8.22 I, Kansas City, MO
Have you heard this outstanding first set “Stash” from one of summer’s strongest two-setters?
***
“If I Could” 8.22 II, Kansas City, MO
Another piece of Starlight’s standout show, “”If I Could came within a second set “Mike’s Groove.”

The best “Slave” of Leg Two.
