Keith is fantastic throughout - gives this version the same vibe as some of Garcia/Saunders explorations during the same time period. Fun listen. #50

Frost Amphitheatre

Sure there’s a couple lyric flubs, but Jerry delivers in a slight trippy fashion during this loping version. Love it

Proudly submit this version. That Dusborne matrix gives this superb depth of sound. Brent’s Hammond solo is lively and strong, and Jerry’s lightning.

Cardinal Stadium

Surprised this one hasn’t been submitted already. Raucous version with Brent getting weirdly psychedelic for his calypso-like solo

Fantastic version, although I do agree that the middle of the jam loses a bit of steam before they decide to head to the descending licks. Still rips and deserves to be higher.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Very surprised to see this so low on the charts. Brent’s B3 solo is dark, brooding genius and fills out every dark recess of this track with velveteen liquid goodness. Jerry does him one better with fretwork that screams and jumps from top to the bottom!!! Left me howlin...

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Shocked by how low this version sits, it deserves more love based on the sheer power it packs.

A multi-dimensional treat played with gusto and creativity. This should rise in these ranks...listen and tell me I am wrong

I do find 6/14/76 phenomenal, this Frost "Fingers" might be my favorite.
