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.

Uncle John's Band

Carter-Finley Stadium

Some very impressive jamming in this Playin' > Uncle John's > Playin' from Brent's last month on the road.

Wild, anarchic jam before the transition the transition back to NFA, replete with Jerry harmonics and Phil bombs.

Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

Hadn't heard this in a long time, then listened yesterday for the 50th anniversary and wooooooow. Jerry — is — on — fire. No wonder this one is ranked so high!
The Other One
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Phil seems to hint at the E-A-C jam from Music Never Stopped. Cool version.
Cumberland Blues
Oct. 21, 1973
Omaha Civic Auditorium

“Precise” is right. Not a note out of place.
Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 20, 1971
Capitol Theater

Well, this is just nuts.
Stella Blue
Dec. 4, 1973
Cincinnati Gardens

Yeah, Phil is all over this version. I wouldn’t say Jerry’s vocal delivery is lacking, though. He fumbles a lyric at the end, but the dynamics and feeling are all there. Great version, though. Casts a spell.
