Rockin' little version, keeps this underrated show going. Jerry and Keith each have a sweet little solo...

Fiery yet contained, a great acoustic version. This whole show is a gem for acoustic lovers...

Mexicali Blues

Freedom Hall

A special, over-looked version. Extremely tight, not a note out of place!
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Meadowlands Arena

Everybody is 100% ON for this song (especially Bobby). I can't say definitively that it's better than 7/7/89 (also incredible), but it's my personal favorite!
New Minglewood Blues

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

I’m also SHOCKED at how low this version is. It's absolutely rockin', Jerry's solos blow me away every time, especially the last one starting at around 3:35 on Dick’s Picks 18. Everyone else is completely in sync around him too… I can’t believe this only has 3 votes!! (Also features great vocals from Bob)
The Other One
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

There IS a TOO on this date, but in the early show. The late show is more well known, and I think all of the other HV entries for this date are for that show. EDIT: Actually, at least one other entry (Don't Ease Me In) for this date is also from the early show.

Dick's Picks 4... I just love this version!
