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

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

P.N.E. Coliseum

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

Winterland Arena

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

It's a nice version, but the one from the next night blows it out of the water.

Jerry plays the characters with more passion than usual. What this one lacks in jamming it makes up for in spirit.
Morning Dew

Hollywood Palladium

This is the earliest live version I've heard that fully capitalizes on the song's epic qualities. Monumental version..
The Other One
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Love the jam out of MAMU. Interesting ideas that would later appear in WRS + a sustained DDNHM motif make for a compelling, sinister jam back into the Other One. Great version.
Brown Eyed Women
Aug. 24, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Not upvote worthy, but it is interesting to hear. This version has more of a garage band spirit than any other version I've ever heard.
