Providence Civic Center

One of those shows where everyone was on and they just seemed to be having fun.Rocking version with Jerry going off and the Wall of Sound to boot.

Brown Eyed Women
July 16, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

One of the best shows of the year in perhaps the best year for the song,high energy and ultra smooth.

Jai-Alai Fronton

Bobby doesn't get too carried away as he could be prone to and Jerry's guitar is perfect.

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

This song seemed to have peaked in the fall of 77,doesn't get much sweeter than this.

The Music Never Stopped
April 30, 1977
The Palladium

Great version from a criminally overlooked show.
Cold Rain and Snow
Oct. 12, 1983
Madison Square Garden

Nasty freezing rain made getting into the city pure hell that night.Opening up what turned out to be perhaps the best show of the year with this smoking rain and snow turned it all to sunshine.
Jack Straw
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

I'm not crazy about the whole Barton Hall thing but this Jack Straw is downright profound,even after countless hearings I still get chills.
St. Stephen
April 23, 1969
The Ark

How the hell did anyone even vote for any post71 versions of this song?
Not Fade Away
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

I was at the englishtown show that tops the list but this version is just more interesting
