Nice soulful 69 version of Baby Blue, they should have played this more in the coming decade.

Box of Rain

Soldier Field

Thanks for the note about the beep during the song. Interesting tidbit for sure. I concur that the vocals aren't the greatest but are very emotional.

Hampton Coliseum

Crowd reaction is very cool to hear, there's a burst of crowd noise in response to just about every line. Listening to the Nak CM-300s source.
Supplication
May 22, 1993
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Must have been a huge surprise! How many standalone Supplications can there be?
Row Jimmy
June 21, 1995
Knickerbocker Arena

Nice long 95 version. Jerry's second solo is really cool and sounds like a slow JGB 90s jam. Also a longer version that goes over 15 minutes.
They Love Each Other
May 5, 1978
Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Nice version, sounds like a Row Jimmy riff tease in the instrumental, great sound on the Nak CM-300s audience recording.
