Winterland Arena

Piston Pumpin' version to close '77. Overlooked? This is the 244th version listed. Deserves to climb the pile.

From the Hearth (Avalon - Historic/ Vintage Album Version)

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 29, 1983
Silva Hall, Hult Center

Attacked with precision and exuberance by the ensemble, who bat this one on down the road in viscous and youthful ’83 style.

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.
