Hollywood Bowl

Wildly exuberant both before and after "SSDD" vocals. And Billy is all over this great AUD.

County Coliseum

Swings and shimmies before busting out the heavy artillery.

Miami Arena

Played pretty fast (for the slow version) and heavy with MIDI and spirited playing. Not to everyone’s taste, perhaps, but I like it!

Charlotte Coliseum

Sparkling rendition. Fans of upbeat '89 versions like 7/7 should check this out.

Sharp, feisty version with Jerry and Brent setting up a beautiful, dreamy -> Terrapin

Black Throated Wind
Oct. 17, 1974
Winterland Arena

I’m not sure if this is *Bobby’s* best BTW — probably not — but it might be Jerry’s best BTW.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 17, 1974
Winterland Arena

Titanic version, somehow ranked third among versions from this run. Well worth checking out.
Greatest Story Ever Told
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

What a thing hearing GSET this vividly rendered, undimmed by the 10 years since its debut.
Althea

Cumberland County Civic Center

This show needs more love. Fantastic playing and *big* peaks here.
Brokedown Palace
Dec. 10, 1973
Charlotte Coliseum

One of the best.
