Veterans Auditorium

Slow, long version of Baby Blue. Jerry's voice is sweet and the organ adds nice texture

The Eleven

Fillmore West

For me, this is the definitive version. Several movements in jamming, and the psychedelic jazz at the ending is pure fire. Love this one.

Dane County Coliseum

Coincidentally, i also spun this yesterday and yes, this is spacey, but maintains coherency. It doesn't dissolve in cacophony, and stays fluent, focused, and psychedelic throughout. Certainly a very worthy versions and the following Wheel is choice taboot!

The Spectrum

Jerry's solo in the middle is magnificent. His series of descending notes are wonderful, then strong gallop to a peaky, fan-y finish. Not the tightest version necessarily, but a goodie for sure.

The initial solo is instant Jerry touches with spine tingling results.

This was has a soaring, triumphant peak. Much love for the motional swells in this goodie
