Franklin's Tower
Aug. 19, 1980
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.

Uncle John's Band

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 comments are right on. This has all the thrills of versions later in the year, but it’s more focused.
Wharf Rat

Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma
I think this might be the best of fall ’77! Really do not miss this one.
West L.A. Fadeaway
June 23, 1990
Autzen Stadium
A really terrific version of a song I don’t ordinarily care much about. One for the summer ’90 highlight reel.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 12, 1983
Madison Square Garden
Busy, clanging Slipknot! here. Very interesting and worthy of multiple listens.
Friend of the Devil
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater
There are obvious flaws — it takes them a few moments to get on the same beat — but this weird, jagged version is like no other I’ve heard. A great example of whatever the fuck was going on in ’78 that made it so different from every other year.
