Family Dog at the Great Highway

I believe this is the first ever Tighten Up jam - Phil and Bob intiate it when Jer breaks a string. Beautiful.

Really unique Star. Some unusual themes explored, including The Other One and Lovelight!

OMG! Most intense Sugar Mag jam ever! Jerry WILL NOT QUIT. Vocal entrance is real sloppy, but it hardly matters - you MUST hear this!!!

This is actually 12/18/73. But good version none the less.

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Easily one of the best of the '80s. How is this not more well known!?

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

This is a good one. Feb '73 Eyes have a unique vibe since they are still working out the ending.

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

This is possibly the highest energy version you'll ever hear, moving at Warp 10 (at least) with some MONSTER Garcia shred-age and huge power chords. Stunning.
