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.

agreed, the best, most unstoppable, most joyful Feelin' Groovy ever
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Beautiful, jazzy, and a one of a kind transition in Rider. One of the best of '74.

Fillmore West

Forgot about this one! Even better than 8/23
Not Fade Away

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Part of a outrageous, balls-to-the-wall NFA>GDTRFB>NFA combo
