Adams Field House, U of Montana

Great second set version after a 45 minute jam and emotive China Doll.

Capitol Theater

Major screw-up of the lyrics here, Pig tries to make up for it and then Jerry just steals the show. I can dig.

Great transition out of Mama Tried! Real cool little western pair in the middle of a fantastic first set

Short with great playing

Jai-Alai Fronton

Very unique and short version (under 8 minutes) and I like it. Especially great ending. Coming back to it upon receiving the Dave's Picks release, this is my favorite short version of the tune. Prelude of the greats to come in 77!

Campus Stadium, UCSB

This one is a scorcher. Much faster version than a lot of others but that's because Jerry and Keith are on another planet!
