Outrageous version. Takes a second to get the mix dialed in, but man they blow the roof off. This has to be one of the best Wall of Sound shows.

Its All Over Now
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Will always be the best version for me. It really was all over now after this show...
Ship of Fools
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

This is my personal favorite, although the one from 6/23/74 is also really really good. This song wasn't the same after 1974.
Standing On The Moon
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium

This is my favorite version of this song.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Fun version
Me and Bobby McGee
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

This is most definitely one of my favorite versions... just perfect really. Coming from one of the best tours they played and one of the top 5 shows ever... 4/14/72 is the only other version that comes close.
