Winterland Arena

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

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

Good Lovin'

Was just minding my own business, listening to GD when I got mugged by this version!
Playin' In The Band

Tower Theater

6/19 perhaps, though not 23 mins. Fanfrickintastic! - as the description says.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

As this transition gets going, Phil tosses on the cordwood. As Jerry’s flames begin to emerge and reach upward, Keith’s sprinklings rise like sparks, while Billy’s rhythmic pulses seem to synchronize the whipping of the flames. And Bob, yeah, he’s like a bellows pumping oxygen into this thing the whole time. Brilliant bonfire. Step back and enjoy the heat.
