Promised Land

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!

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.

Jerry's nimble fingers start workin' their magic right outta the gait on this one. This tune has never been a go-to for me, but this one's never seen the skip button.
Playin' In The Band

Nassau Coliseum

I'll have to agree. This show needs much more love. The Eyes from this night has to be in the top three for the year IMHO.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 31, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

One of the best shows from a solid year. The Shakedown ranks in the top 5 ever for me.
The Other One
Dec. 31, 1972
Winterland Arena

Pretty good version with an interesting spacey/bluesy hybrid groove going on towards the end, though not a top ten TOO by ay means IMHO of course. That's David Crosby--not Stephen Stills--on Guitar, BTW.

Capitol Theater

Wow! Can't believe this one slipped through the cracks on me. That "Winin' Boy blues" had me winin for more. Thanks for pointing me to this nugget of a find Carrion_Crow!
