Me and My Uncle
Sept. 14, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Carries forward the energy and vibe of the preceding Ollin>NFA. Kind of mesmerizing.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

Eloquent Jerry solo elevates this one unexpectedly.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Don’t always love the ’78s for this tune, but this howling version certainly warrants attention.

The Eleven
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Another brilliant April '69 Eleven that just doesn't let up. Forceful, but totally unforced.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Brilliantly strange. T.C.'s organ adds stuttering weirdness to a churning groovathon.

High Time
March 28, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

As clean and polished a version as I've heard, from any era.
Easy To Love You
March 28, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Not my favorite song, but there's something pretty special about this crisp and confident version. Nice!
Looks Like Rain
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Just incredible. This very creative, spontaneous version has any energy of its own.
New Minglewood Blues
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Feisty version from a feisty show. Tuscaloosa is the fall '77-type show of spring '77.
Sugaree
April 3, 1990
The Omni

A very strong, well-jammed version for the era.
