Arrowhead Stadium

This is guaranteed to get you on your feet, seriously fast, led by the drumming. As far as MAMU goes this is top drawer.

Beautiful playing, easy to see why this was included on DaP18

Orpheum Theatre

Lacks the familiar opening but Jerry's guitar playing is on fire, with a great contribution from Keith as well. Well worth a listen

Rockin' version, nice playing from Jerry

Stanley Theatre

Nothing to say that hasn’t been said already, this absolutely SMOKES!
The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Just have to comment again about how this should be top 5 comfortably, even top 3 - only versions rivalling this are 4/24/78 and 2/3/78. Raw energy, keeps me coming back for more

May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

Edmundson Pavilion

This deal went down. One of the best early Deals I've heard
