Promised Land
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

A charged version that starts off a triple-thread run for this massive second set.

Cassidy

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

This deserves to be on the map!

Deal
March 15, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It swings to a funky swagger; Jerry is in top form here. I think it's the best Deal from the spring '73 tour!

Deal
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

It struts & swaggers in that honey, country-tinged '73 way that we've come to relish & rely on. From one of the best shows from one of the best years.

Easy Wind

DuPont Gym - MIT

A version all true heads should love, or at least hear once.

Estimated Prophet
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

^Well said. The outro on this one is second to none! Jerry's axe wails, moans & screams with raw emotion. This one is not for the feeble minded or faint hearted.
Might As Well
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

The band is amped! My go-to version from a stellar year.
Ramble On Rose
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Powerhouse version! A kindred sibling to 7/8/78.
The Music Never Stopped
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Gotta love the call and response banter between Bobby & Donna. The band was having fun tonight, and it's obvious from this version - and the show as a whole - that they came to play!
Eyes Of The World
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

One of the best Estimated->Eyes pairings out there. It seems to get better with each listen. This is among the top shelf shows of '78, and this Betty Board is extra crispy.
