Black Throated Wind

Delta Center

Great version from a great show. I don't like 1995, but this show has quite a few highlights.

Criminally underrated. Check out SHNID 148827 if you haven't. It sounds a lot richer than the official release, and includes a lot of the crowd noise that the soundboard is missing. This is a top 5 Peggy O for me.

As others have said, check out the Here Comes Sunshine box set version. The clarity is great. Phil totally rips on this track. I expect this to climb up the rankings as people gradually discover it.

The version on the Here Comes Sunshine box set is absolutely incredible. Criminally underrated song. The whole show is great, actually. Hopefully more heads will discover it before long.
Beat it on Down The Line

There's never much love for this song, but this version really stands out. I think this show might have the best first set of all time.
