I think the band was a little cooked from the night before but it seems like they're still having some fun.

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.

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!
