Part of a rare double encore, this version has great energy and bounce. The Brokedown to follow is nice as well. Check out the Oade Brothers AUD.

Seattle Center Coliseum

Really cool pre-drums jam in this version. Almost sounds like they are about to go into I Know You Rider.

It's a fine version and all but the cool little Jerry noodle just before Drums is the real reason to seek this version out.

Playin' In The Band

I'll need to give this one a few more listens I think. I found it to be quite boring. Not as good as the PITB that was played in Vancouver a few days prior.

Love Jerry's tone in this version. Sooo smooth.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Memorial Coliseum

Great scorching version! Nice mid 2nd set energy build combo with Bertha and played after a superb Stella Blue. Nice little discovery due to the Pacific Northwest boxset.

The jam on this version is really excellent. I'd call this a hidden gem. This whole show smokes.

The jam between Scarlet and FOTM is very unique, makes this version a must hear.
