Franklin's Tower

Uptown Theatre
Jerry’s playing with amazing ease and fluidity. One shimmering melody after another.

Me and Bobby McGee
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden
Played fast, sounding almost triumphant. Very cleanly played with some attention-grabbing Jerry.

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.

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

Soulful outro in perfect five-part counterpoint.

The Other One
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena
My favorite thing about this version is listening to Keith synthesize Jerry's brand-new Slipknot lines on the fly.
Ramble On Rose
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena
HUGE version right here. Heavy but never lumbering. The whole band is in peak form, although I’d be remiss if I didn’t single out one PHILIP LESH.
Cumberland Blues
June 23, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton
Probably one of the latest versions to suggest the old Viola Lee Blues jams. One of the breaks really gets primal. Phenomenal.

Heckuva show opener!
Big River
Nov. 25, 1973
Feyline Field
Jerry’s soloing is some of the hottest I’ve ever heard in Big River. Keith too exceeds my already lofty expectations.
