Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

The Omni

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

The Music Never Stopped

Giants Stadium

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Madison Square Garden

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

This starts off one of the most enjoyable 2nd sets that I listen too. None of it is best ever, but every tune is so solid and song selection is perfect... repeat Disc 2 in my car all the time.

Memorial Coliseum

Best version if not for 12/19/77.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1972
Hollywood Palladium

There really are some sweet melodic DS theme moments in this one. How something like this sits with so few votes, baffles me.

War Memorial

See 12/29/77 for the best.
Friend of the Devil
April 11, 1978
Fox Theatre

Honest... one of the sweetest versions ever played.
