Way To Go Home

Deer Creek Music Center

The one Vince song I dig. This performance is super-solid. Make sure to listen to Jerry's solo. Something kicked him in the ass- it's a rager!

Surprised the Without A Net version gets no love here. This one has always been one of my favorites, and I go back to it often!

A very solid, all-around well-played version. This definitely needs more love!

Off of one of Dick's leaked tapes. Wow, great version. There's a nice, clean copy on archive- check it out!

Nice call! My favorite '70s Bertha. You can tell they're all having a great time.

Great, insane jam between NFA & GDTR. Caught me off-guard.

I love this version for it's uniqueness. I've never heard a DS quite like this one. A must-hear.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

A lot of people rave about the late show version because, if I remember right, it was a part of a great suite of tunes. (?) However, I LOVE the early show stand-alone version. It has the best live harmonies I've ever heard on this tune. Check it out.

Fillmore East

This is a super-tight early-ish M&mU that gets overlooked because of the epic versions of heavy-hitters in this show. Bob sings relaxed and on-key.
