Beat it on Down The Line
Nov. 10, 1973
Winterland Arena

A little extra mustard on this one.

Me and Bobby McGee
Nov. 9, 1973
Winterland Arena

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Jack Straw
June 24, 1973
Memorial Coliseum

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Beat it on Down The Line
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

Sugar Magnolia
March 24, 1973
The Spectrum

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

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.
