Great recording from a great night, the boys got in the right mood with this version right here.

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

My favorite, and it's not even on the list. My sense is that this one will shoot up the list.

Mister Charlie
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

This one catches my ear as the best '71 version, maybe it's because it is practically 1972.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 7, 1971
Harding Theatre

Fans of '71 will wonder why this one is so far down. 11-15-71 still takes the cake, but this one beats Halloween in my opinion.
Mister Charlie
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

They are all really good towards the top, but the tempo, and Jerry's solo hits my ear just right on this one.
Bertha
Aug. 5, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

The only thing better than a Bertha opener, is a 9 min Bertha opener.
Friend of the Devil
Aug. 10, 1982
Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

With meaning by all who dared.
