Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

And We Bid You Goodnight
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Bobby starts to bid the crowd "goodnight" as "Johnny B. Goode" finishes, but Jerry has other plans and leads them into this sweet version...

Cleveland Public Hall

This one gets quite out there, yet remains smooth and melodic...A+ from me. Shame about the cut. Love Bobby going for a high scream of his own during Donna's signature post-jam scream!

First one in a little over a year is a good one!
Box of Rain

Cleveland Public Hall

One of the better ones I've heard actually...tight with great vocals from Phil.

Cleveland Public Hall

I think Fall '72 is the best era for FOTD -- fast and wired like the studio version!
