Me and My Uncle

Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Jerry slays this laid-back (yet still kickin') version. Sweet stuff here, into a strong Big River.

Mexicali Blues
Nov. 10, 1973
Winterland Arena

Just a blistering drum beat to propel this one! Good stuff!

Paramount Northwest Theater

Are there better versions out there? Undoubtedly! But this is still worthy of an entry. Some nice, tinkling piano.

Sugaree
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

Goodness... I've listened to A LOT of Sugarees, and I'm hard-pressed to find one I like more than this. This Sugaree is truly among the sweetest!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Every note is perfection. The fullness of sound here is transcendent. Outstanding.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 1, 1976
Market Square Arena

I'm surprised this hasn't gotten the 'official release status' yet (as of 9/2022), based solely on this H>S>F!! Good stuff!

Play all night! Play all night!
Wharf Rat

Love Wharf Rat! Sublime, soothing, spectacular. Donna is just beautiful here, too.
