Has it all, and goes seamlessly into a killer Lovelight. Not catching why this show is the bomb? Try HEADPHONES - makes a big difference!

As a young head I used to scream out for LIG and this one reminds me why. They click into place for a monster show right here.

Scarlet scrambled eggs deconstructed and elemental. Fun and Jerry is on fire, but we can't say 'flawless'. Chaotic fun. Band's just warming up....

A strangly deconstructed early version (7th time ever), very loose in the joints. But it rolls along with great lopsided beauty. Interesting.

Winterland Arena

The H>S transition is just exactly perfect, as Bobby announces before they tear into it. Tight, pristine musicality here, complete with that mind-bending buzz saw tone an some form-bending riffing before knotting us backwards into the Franklin's. Top five for me definitely.
The Music Never Stopped

Winterland Arena

Jerry rides a tsunami wave across this one. The solo is shredding, and listen to Phil. Jer might be the wave, but Phil's the water.
Good Lovin'

Fillmore West

Very special long jam before bringing Pig back in. Not a vocal version - no rap - but worth it for the jam. Do any heads out there know whether this jam has a name? I recall hearing similar themes elsewhere, though can't totally recall where right now.

Fillmore West

Grindingly out of tune. Rough. No vote.
The Other One

Fillmore West

Very heavy explosive jam, in spite of or above and over the kooky chanting. Leads into a "The Main Ten" jam that just blows me away.
