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.

Truckin'
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Stunning group interplay.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 25, 1991
Boston Garden

The Help is precise, the Slipknot is an odyssey, the Franklins bops. This is a textbook H>S>F in the best possible way.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 16, 1991
Giants Stadium

Later China Riders could feel dialed in to a fault. This one is a true exception to that rule.
Tennessee Jed
Sept. 16, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Bruce's solo here may be my favorite solo I've heard anyone play on this song, post-Jerry lineups included.
Victim Or The Crime
July 12, 1990
Robert F. Kennedy Stadium

Jerry pulls off some highly precise shredding on this version and Bob's reading of the lyrics is quite inspired.
