Fall '76 is a great buildup period for this song before they take it through the stratosphere in '77

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Baltimore Civic Center

Also agree and will relisten to Nassau. And I associate Feb more with 72, as I think I wrote under the C>R on 2/15, which ranks high in my book.

The Ark

… and the profound musical outburst after the first verse @ 11min leaves an enduring impression on the grateful head
The Other One

Austin Municipal Auditorium

On being Phil's punching bag: the privilege is mine.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 30, 1980
Fox Theatre

+1 here for the puppy upper majority. Was not at the show, but got the tape soon thereafter and have been groovin ever since.
Cream Puff War
Nov. 19, 1966
Fillmore Auditorium

Yeah, this is it -- a potent extract of 60's psychedelia. I always peg the volume on this one to hear/ feel the bass.
