The Music Never Stopped
June 17, 1976
Capitol Theater

Swirling, cohesive and inspired. It may not hit the rousing peaks of 78, but it's damn fine.

The Wheel
June 15, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Ecstatic and confident with a sweet transition into Sugar Mags.

Mexicali Blues
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

This one takes a sharp left turn into some weird tones and aggressive soloing from Keith and Jerry.

Deal
May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

Country rock pulsing with jazzy energy. One of the most exciting pre-hiatus versions.

One More Saturday Night
Nov. 10, 1973
Winterland Arena

Fierce yet loose. Lots of fun is being had and it's infectious.

Passenger
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

Probably the cleanest vocals I've ever heard on this song.
King Bee
July 17, 1966
Fillmore Auditorium

Quite possibly the best solo I've ever heard from Jerry pre-67.
Stella Blue
Dec. 16, 1992
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Bob's ripcord into Good Lovin' is a travesty in this otherwise excellent version.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

Phil's punchy ascending lines in Supplication slay me.
Let It Grow
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Bob does blow a transition, but Jerry brings enough inspired shredding to make up for it.
