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.

Winterland Arena

The dynamics and attention to detail really impress. What a first set!
The Other One
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

This is a great version for the year, which is to say -- unremarkable by '70-'73 standards but better than almost all versions to follow.
Eyes Of The World

Winterland Arena

Could this be the best version of the year? It's possible! It's a generous, nearly spotless rendition that unfurls melody after melody.
Big River

Community War Memorial Auditorium

11/2/77 and this have got to be the best consecutive versions of this tune played post-'74. Hot damn!
Mama Tried
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Yes, it is!
