William and Mary College Hall

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.

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

YES!!!! One of the very best, my favorite of '67 by far. The Vaudeville meets punk ending the boys tack on is hilarious!
