Did Jerry or Phil ever play any keyboards on stage?

I know they both played piano on a few GD recordings, and Garcia on piano on "Garcia".

 

I'm not aware of any live recordings of such, not even on the 4-1-80  opener of Promised Land.

 

It would be cool to see/hear Phil play piano at a show.

Can't speak to live recordings, but Jerry played keys on several studio takes (not sure about Phil)

And if I recall correctly, Jerry played everything but drums on his first album
