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.

Kiel Auditorium

This is pretty much a perfect reading of the song's original arrangement, before it became a set closing shred fest.
Here Comes Sunshine
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

I'm a simple man: I hear a 1973 Here Comes Sunshine, I upvote it on HeadyVersion.
Brokedown Palace
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Never quite understood the decision to play this as anything other than a set/show closer, but this performance is incredibly tight and heartfelt.

Mellow magic
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

It may be about 10 minutes shorter than some of the year's headier expeditions, but every single piece of this jam is tight and purposeful. Stunning music.
