Kiel Auditorium
The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

Kiel Auditorium
The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Aka Lunatic Preserve. A hair-raising, spontaneous meltdown bridging SOTM and Miracle.

The dynamics and attention to detail really impress. What a first set!

Winterland Arena
This is a great version for the year, which is to say -- unremarkable by '70-'73 standards but better than almost all versions to follow.

Could this be the best version of the year? It's possible! It's a generous, nearly spotless rendition that unfurls melody after melody.

11/2/77 and this have got to be the best consecutive versions of this tune played post-'74. Hot damn!
