Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
Sept. 19, 1990
Madison Square Garden

A pounding, emotional version delivered with the inspiration that runs throughout the MSG ’90 run

Brokedown Palace
May 9, 1981
Nassau Coliseum

One of a few comical, double-start versions, this one comes around to cap off a great evening, sending us aglow into the parking lot

Aiko Aiko
April 3, 1986
Hartford Civic Center

Punchy and well explored to open the gig; beefy and well mixed soundboard to boot
2
Hell in a Bucket
June 5, 1993
Giants Stadium

Charging, gnarly version to open the proceedings before the dish-off off to a soaring Sugaree
2
Foolish Heart
Sept. 19, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Enjoy the free wanderings of these earlier versions before the “hook” closed the jam segment.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 30, 1973
Rochester Community War Memorial

This version of the pairing is genius. Totally overlooked is right. A pathetic assemblage of votes so far.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 31, 1971
Yale Bowl, Yale University

So many great ones – and differences among eras. Still, a paltry three votes? Aggressive/ Phil running the lane here. Boot it up the list.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 1, 1976
Market Square Arena

The Miller is killer; the rest might be filler. But if they concoct an Indy box and distribute a clean recording of the whole 10/27/73, I'd register. (9/22)
Sugar Magnolia
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Oh my god, yes.
Truckin'
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Phil is gargantuan on this apex.
