Beat it on Down The Line
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Not just high-energy but a little manic and dangerous. Listen for some sneaky fills by Keith.

Sugaree
Sept. 29, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Oh my god!!! This performance is absolutely competitive with the other greats from ’77! Audio quality is the only reason it’s languishing down here with just three votes. The AUD’s really not bad, though, and this is well worth hearing.
Ramble On Rose
Sept. 29, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Intense, heartfelt, and beautifully sung by all. One of the better late ’70s versions I’ve heard.
Eyes Of The World
Aug. 12, 1979
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Phil’s bombs, Bobby’s harmonics, Brent’s intricately darting runs, Jerry letting himself be drawn Out, finally Rhythm Devils-enhanced Space ... it’s all here. Wow.
Truckin'

Copps Coliseum

Fresh and intriguing outro jam here! Don’t just listen to the S>F.
Easy To Love You

Copps Coliseum

I am not surprised to see this version at the top. I was really charmed by Brent's soloing in this, but the whole performance is very well done.
