Civic Center

Funky version slathered in Fender Rhodes gets an incendiary Jerry solo.

Ominous dark synth lead-in to a great Other One.

Wow, everyone’s playing the hell out of this Sugaree! The band is clearly ON.

These long freaky Drumses from ’78 are really compelling. The band must have felt so too, since Drums>Space, uh, stuck around!

Jerry's solo is on point, really precise and eloquent.

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.

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

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Yes, it is!
