Can't believe this isn't listed! Really massive verison with not one, but two slipknot teases. Jerry is on fire!!

Winterland Arena

May be the best of the early versions. Has that '73 bounce, but with something a little extra.

So very tender. Check out Jerry's beautiful solo during the bridge!

OMG!!!! This may just be the the best. Only downside is a brutal cut at the climax of Jerry's solo during the bridge...but this is still a must hear!

Mountains of the Moon
April 26, 1969
The Electric Theatre

This is the finest version for me...the electric parts of Jerry's solo have a strong Dark Star quality to them.
Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

The best Franklin's ever IMHO, such energy and creativity here!
Not Fade Away
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Yes! The whole band is ripping on this version, one of my favorites
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 17, 1973
St. Paul Auditorium

They should have done this transition more! Nice version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 7, 1982
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Whoa. This is definitely an excellent transition into Rider, they even throw in a few hints at the "Feelin' Groovy" jam from '73-'74. A new fav of the '80s for sure.
