I don't believe this one's not represented!! 22 minutes long, Brent's first, Jerry's jammin at warp speed....slowing into powerful drums

Maybe not "greatest" but an interesting discordant sort of jam makes this early version worth a listen

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.

Very kind Stranger - Brent is all over this one. Terrific show on the summer solstice in AK!
Little Red Rooster

Olympic Center

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

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.
