Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

The Palladium

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Morning Dew

Nassau Coliseum

I am not really a fan of this era, but this version is incredible. Patient build, beautiful execution. Such emotive playing
Uncle John's Band
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Yup, classic. My favorite (if forced to choose)
Uncle John's Band
May 21, 1982
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

I scooped this show not too long ago. This version is certainly one of the most exploratory I know of. Jam gets dicey in the later minutes - she's a deep cut.
Sugaree

Hartford Civic Center

Yeah, this one definitely deserves dap. Haven't spun in a minute - holds up fantastically!
Greatest Story Ever Told
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

Yup, another hot version for a hot show
