Strand Lyceum

Look, this may be the best one
Playin' In The Band

Bickershaw Festival

This one and Hamburg develop the Main Ten lick for much of the jam
Caution

Tivolis Koncertsal

I don't know if this is BETTER than 4/8 or some of the primal biggos, but this is my favorite Caution. It's funky and alive.

Olympia Theater

This is so fucking hot. The best version of the tour and thus, a fortiori, one of the best ever.
