Hartford Civic Center

Excellent playing throughout but the third jam starting @ 7:50 reaches escape velocity
Easy Wind
April 24, 1970
Mammoth Gardens

This is a shockingly hot performance, just a notch behind 6/24 and 5/7/70. Don't sleep on this one! The tinny but listenable AUD recording is the only reason it's so low in the rankings.
It Must Have Been The Roses
Oct. 12, 1983
Madison Square Garden

Jerry's ragged vocals add a mournful sense of regret that really sells this version. Stunning!
They Love Each Other
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

I typically prefer the faster '73 arrangement but Jerry's solo in this one is just grade A rainbow syrup drizzled over a tall buttery stack of Keith's piano chords. Love it.
The Other One
April 15, 1969
The Music Box

Blistering, scorching, face-melting ... just listen to this superlative Other One! Not too many AUDs from this era make the cut but I'd listen to way worse quality than this to hear such an intense piece of playing.
