Great version, Jerry on fire especially during the outro

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Part of a big second set jam, emerging from space and segueing into Truckin', Jerry really moves through the gears towards the end

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Short but sweet and very hot. Embedded into a great 2nd set

Uncle John's Band
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

Agreed, strangely overlooked for such a highly regarded show. The verses are nothing out of the ordinary, Donna's singing is great though, but as said above there's serious intensity to the last few minutes. Definitely should be higher
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Madison Square Garden

As said above, Slipknot is a dream. Great tone, just fantastic
Not Fade Away
Dec. 7, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Start to finish brilliant. They seem to never want it to end and when they do Bobby sounds exhausted! Great stuff.
Jack Straw

Arrowhead Stadium

So so so good!
Playin' In The Band
July 19, 1974
Selland Arena

One of my favourite stand alone PITBs, the last 5-6 minutes of jamming are gorgeous, but this has got it all from beginning to end. They really push on from this into the next set as mentioned already. Supreme.
