Excellent energy and Jerry led jamming to start a smoking show

The Palladium

I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

The Drums is fine/good, but this one is great to cleary hear some spunion shout "holy fucking, SHIT!" on the SBD. Someone's mind = blown... Priceless

Eyes Of The World
Aug. 13, 1975
Great American Music Hall

Finally pulled the trigger on this beauty on vinyl and My. God. It's been a while since I heard this version and floored just like the first time. The band is so tight, Jerry so nimble, and Chill Lesh so thick on the bassline. Crisp, melodic, and sublime.
Blow Away
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

I’m shocked no one commented on the disgusting Keith/Brent/Pig three-way dueling pianos solos into vocal raps for each. Not quite Cornell quality version, but HEADY all the same.
Scarlet Begonias
March 16, 1990
Capital Centre

Pulsing jam with great full band interplay that for me, is far superior to the oft lauded version just a few days later in tour. Everyone dialed in to create unified voice
He's Gone
March 21, 1990
Copps Coliseum

God, this one is straight gorgeous. Patient, with excellent Jerry and Brent.
Estimated Prophet

Hampton Coliseum

Deep, thick groove in this one. Brent/Jerry joint MVPs.
