Sweetly melodic outro, well-played. I really enjoyed this Space > Other One > Stella.

Forceful and confident, with rowdy playing from Bobby and Brent in particular.

Deal

Olympiahalle
The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden
Wow, this is … where did this come from? Vastly more developed than most other early versions. Edgier and more interesting than many played later.

County Coliseum
There’s a really cruel cut in the middle of this one. When it cuts back in, we’re at the tail end of the solo, and it’s smoking. Oh, well.

I love how Bobby incorporates the Truckin’ intro into the Wharf Rat outro.

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University
Pretty good, but I don’t think it’s No. 1, even assuming we’re excluding all the WRS versions. Even within fall ’77, I’d say 10/2 is more interesting. I’ll have to give 5/1/81 a listen. I know off the top of my head that 10/19/81 and 5/13/83 kick ass and probably best this one.
Me and My Uncle
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl
Oh my god, the five-headed monster is unstoppable in its devastation in this Me and My Uncle.
