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.

Looks Like Rain

Boston Music Hall

I couldn't believe how good this version is. Can sometimes take or leave the song, but this is INCREDIBLE.
Playin' In The Band
May 13, 1972
Lille Fairgrounds

Tight, melodic, lovely. This one really grabbed my attention.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

No kidding! Thunderous, yet melodic. Try it -- you'll like it.
Dire Wolf
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Good version, but I believe it's played electric.
