Fox Theatre

One of the best versions of this era. Jerry is loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide solo (really).

Boutwell Auditorium

The transition jam is longer than previous versions and many later ones, and Jerry goes somewhere in it. That should have happened more.

Jai-Alai Fronton

One of my favorite EPs. Can't believe it's not on here yet. Jam is fantastic, with Phil leading the way. Huge ideas and imagination.

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Great jam covering a lot of ground, Phil pushing and pulling patiently, Jerry attacking.

Jerry's last solo is outrageous and the drummers respond

Love how Bobby climbs to the peak. Great jam after too.

Broome County Arena

Huge 20-minute version. Jerry is full of ideas and loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide riff at almost 12 minutes in.

Recreation Hall - Penn State University

Another third chorus in the solo and Jerry rips it up

Hampton Coliseum

Jerry seizes on an interesting theme in the solo and tears it up in the coda.
