Drums -> Space
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

Me and Bobby McGee
March 24, 1973
The Spectrum

Tight, energetic, heartfelt rendition of this era staple.

The Other One
April 9, 1989
Freedom Hall

A kaleidoscopic Other One is the apex of a very well-played second set.

Looks Like Rain

Winterland Arena

Emphatic, even ferocious. Check it out.

Winterland Arena

Thunderous energy to complement the rest of this hard-rocking Winterland run.

Ramble On Rose
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Thick, rubbery-bouncy version. Fantastic follow-up to a gorgeous LLR.
Wharf Rat
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

Now, I like the 46-minute Playin’ (not everyone does, as you will see if you read the comments), but even I’m inclined to say that Eyes > Wharf Rat is the apex of the show and one of the greatest moments of the month. It doesn’t get sweeter — more passionately and resourcefully realized — than this.

Hofheinz Pavilion

I can’t even believe this thing.
Friend of the Devil
Sept. 18, 1983
Nevada County Fairgrounds

A lot of very generous playing in the first few songs of this show — just a bounty of notes, all of them well chosen. Again, I’ll say: The Andrew F source sounds fantastic.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium

Substantially energized by the storm and/or Bruce’s presence. Slathered in IT. Among the very best.
