Winterland Arena

Very beautiful, almost sparse playing on this one. It's different than most from '74 but it works.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Short but high octane version with Billy and Jerry crushing it...the jam rises to a furious climax!

Palais Des Sports

Unusual version that starts out very quiet and minimalistic, alternating throughout from hot to cold. Jerry and Billy are really tearing it up!

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Killer Nobody's jam in which Jerry apparently breaks a string, but Keith steps up very nicely. Some subtle Other One teases towards the end of one.

Some really sweet, one-of-a-kind exploration in this one...possibly my favorite version of 1974.

This version stumbles and mumbles its way to a start, but ends up being a real heater!

Dane County Coliseum

Definitely one hot version!

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Whoa. This version has one of the most powerful outros I've ever heard. Just might be my new favorite version!!!
