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

Bird Song
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

This is good, doesn't reach the heights of other 72-73 versions though.
Playin' In The Band
April 19, 1986
Berkeley Community Theater

Sounds like 72 in parts. Possibly one of the best of the 80s.
Crazy Fingers
April 19, 1986
Berkeley Community Theater

Nice version, after a sloppy first set they set the tone for a better rest of the night.
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 26, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Very fast playing by Jerry on this, parts sound more like a '72 Playin' In The Band.
Cream Puff War
July 16, 1966
Fillmore Auditorium

Very cool, they shouldn't have shelved this so quick.
