RFK Stadium

Controlled yet passionate. Almost Mozartean.

Fillmore West

Spacey and relaxed, but maintains a gentle simmer throughout.

Me and Bobby McGee

Strand Lyceum

Crisp and sweet as always, but it's Jerry's fills that really make this version.

Truckin'

Strand Lyceum

*Yet another* stellar Truckin' from Europe '72. It would be unconscionable not to acknowledge its greatness here.

Strand Lyceum

Very sweetly played and sung. Could easily have been the version picked for "Europe '72."

I already upvoted this, which shows it’s caught my attention before. Terrific Estimated from maybe its best year. Whatever Phil is doing at the end is very striking.
