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.

Some very impressive jamming in this Playin' > Uncle John's > Playin' from Brent's last month on the road.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena
Thick, rubbery-bouncy version. Fantastic follow-up to a gorgeous LLR.
Wharf Rat

Edmundson Pavilion
Now, I like the 46-minute Playin’ (not everyone does, as you will see if you read the comments), but even I’m inclined to say that Eyes > Wharf Rat is the apex of the show and one of the greatest moments of the month. It doesn’t get sweeter — more passionately and resourcefully realized — than this.

Hofheinz Pavilion
I can’t even believe this thing.
Friend of the Devil
Sept. 18, 1983
Nevada County Fairgrounds
A lot of very generous playing in the first few songs of this show — just a bounty of notes, all of them well chosen. Again, I’ll say: The Andrew F source sounds fantastic.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium
Substantially energized by the storm and/or Bruce’s presence. Slathered in IT. Among the very best.
