Jack Straw
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

There’s something about the pluck of this early version. Fresh and surprising even if you’ve heard a billion Jack Straws.

Jack Straw
Aug. 25, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

The most active, detailed ’72 Jack Straw I can recall.

Pretty Peggy O
June 4, 1977
The Forum

Powerful and incandescent. I’ll admit Peggy-O can sometimes bore me, but not this one!

He's Gone
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Don't let sound quality issues prevent you from hearing this. As fresh and crisp as any of the other fine He's Gones from spring and summer.

Deal
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

They end up running through the “solo” section twice. Both times are as hot as you would expect for ’73.

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.
Ramble On Rose
June 23, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton

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.
Looks Like Rain
July 14, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

Brent's clever accompaniment helps the ending jam levitate and glide.
Loser
July 13, 1984
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

This version has IT.
