Madison Square Garden

A big version. Listen as the baton gets passed without missing a beat.

Madison Square Garden

An A1 performance that just improves with repeated listenings.

They Love Each Other
April 13, 1983
Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

A bull's ass in fly season and the boys on this one are both TIGHT!!! (Although tight might not be the correct word for an awesome TLEO.)

Brokedown Palace
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

While not without imperfection, this version gets at that misty quality central to the ethos of the tune.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

The Omni

Yup, 'Without a Net' proves that a compilation live release can be a great thing.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Well worth hearing. Includes the 'Feelin' Groovy'-themed segue jam and they pull it off very well, as 'Feelin Groovy' segues can run the risk of sagging momentum. This whole show is worth checking out.
Dark Star
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

In an era of dark supergiants this one comes in as a dwarf, of sorts, but packs a lot in--although it is mostly gentle. Check it out!
Greatest Story Ever Told
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Nice tight version from a great show all-around.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

This show is an embarrassment of riches!
