Jerry trying to untie one of his "knots" really tears into this version.

One of my favorite versions. When they open with a Bertha like this, you know you're in for a hell of a ride.

Buffalo Auditorium

It's sooo cliche, the "I can't believe this version isn't represented" but it truly applies here. Incendiary LIG from an amazing show.

The Other One
Oct. 17, 1974
Winterland Arena

I'm watching this set on Youtube and marveling at the incredible video and sound of this monster jam. Maybe the visuals make this version hit harder, even so, those 3 nights in October of '74 made for some astounding music.

West High Auditorium

Very kind Stranger - Brent is all over this one. Terrific show on the summer solstice in AK!
Little Red Rooster
Oct. 17, 1983
Olympic Center

Riding the tail of a killer Sugaree opener, this is a great Rooster. One of my favorite '83 shows.
Uncle John's Band

Greek Theatre - University of California

This is how the song goes. Awesome show to closeout an epic run at the Greek. Not To Be Missed!

Great pick. This one moves like a freight train ready to jump it's tracks. Hang on! Great sounding AUD too.
