Surprised this isn't listed yet. This version is by far the best with the horns, with Jerry and Martin really getting into it with some fiery leads!

Fillmore West

Monster reprise, one of the longest and best ever.

Roosevelt Stadium

Unusual and fiery version making up the meat of an otherworldly Playin' sandwich.

Fillmore West

Without question, the best Crypt reprise ever performed. This one reaches the limits of space and time.

Cow Palace

First ever Scarlet Begonias. Very unusual sound with a very tentative, bluesy feel, but it's still a keeper and worth hearing for the novelty at least

Definitely an epic jam with a sick-ass Truckin'. Underrated show too.
Let It Grow
Oct. 25, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

One of my favorite versions ever. It's so good, I don't even mind the turkey gobble sounding tape "effects".
Bird Song

Assembly Hall, University of Illinois

A wonderful lilting beauty of a Bird Song. A favorite.

Winterland Arena

WOW!! Effing siiiick buildup in this jam!!!! A must hear. Segues into a sweet NBFBM with some cool Other One-ish type riffs/teases too.
