Promised Land
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

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

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.

DuPont Gym - MIT

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

‘81 goodness right here, folks!
The Music Never Stopped

This version is sitting undeservingly low. It’s of the best from the 80s, no question!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 26, 1981
Uptown Theater

Blazing hot.
Estimated Prophet
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

There are many great Estimated’s from the period, and this one is no exception.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

This one really swings. ‘81 is not known for all-timer versions of Eyes, but this one is overall the best of the year. Check out 3/21 & 11/30 for two other strong readings.
