Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

Strap on your helmet and welcome to space camp! This is my buddies favorite version. I really need to be in the mood for this type of exploration, but when I am - it hits home and hard!

Gorgeous version from a stellar show. The St Stephen > NFA > SB is really solid
