Playin' In The Band
If you listen to this in the car, Donna will break your windshield. + a Super 20 min jam

Big River
Jerry's 2nd solo might just be the hottest BR solo ever! Hope they had a fire extinguisher on stage!!

Ship of Fools
For any SoF doubters out there, this one is as convincing as they come. Everything comes together nicely, and there isn't a single downer on deck.

Row Jimmy
Easily the best '74 version. Keith plays beautiful Rhodes piano, Phil tears it up, and the vocals are pure.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Classic,bouncy good time opener for this WOS show to start set 2. Great Jerry solo,but listen for Keith too.
7
Jack Straw
Show starts out a bit rough - tech issues, energy, song selection. Boys seem to come alive here, with some nice Jerry leads and Keith fills
10
It Must Have Been The Roses
Pretty mid set version. For some reason this show is a little under the radar.

Sugaree
Very surprised this isn't on the list yet. Tight version, Jerry's vocal delivery and solos are top-notch. Grate vibe for a rainy or cloudy day.

Me and My Uncle
You gotta be kidding me Joker! This M&MU is AMAZING! Cliche but can't believe it's not here already...
