Warfield Theater

Hot outro resolves into a brief contemplative space before yielding to Drums.

Nassau Coliseum

Sparkling, energetic version. The first set of the Nassau run is a great one!

Its All Over Now

Winterland Arena

Grooves smartly with excellent contributions from each member. The whole first set is hot and worth a listen.

Jerry and Donna sound great in this uptempo version. Jerry's solo smokes too, of course.

Sweet bluesy outro jam. Spring ’78 was very good to poor Peter.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

It should be noted that the version on the box set is from 6/8/77, as the 5/13 tape is damaged at this point. The Archive links are truly 5/13, however.
Brown Eyed Women
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this was one of the best songs in their repertoire around the time of this version.
Dark Star
Sept. 16, 1972
Boston Music Hall

What a journey! At first deft and delicate, then thick and swinging ... and of course there's a classic '72 space freakout. Highly recommended.
Not Fade Away
June 19, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Wow, where did that come from? A unique jam makes for one of the coolest NFAs of the decade.
Franklin's Tower
June 19, 1989
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry switches to slide after several verses, followed shortly by a smoooth segue to Walkin’ Blues. Cool and different.
