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
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

Winterland Arena

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

New Minglewood Blues
May 4, 1977
The Palladium

I love Keith's solo on this, it has more of that barroom piano feel that was common pre-hiatus than any other Minglewood I've ever heard.
Let It Grow
Oct. 2, 1976
Riverfront Arena

Some really tricky, inventive leads from Jerry. There are more epic versions, to be sure, but this one has some unique spunk that makes it worth seeking out.
The Other One
March 26, 1972
Academy of Music

These shows marginalized as warmup for Europe, but the main jam segment, including this Other One is every bit on the same plane as the Europe 72 second sets.

The jazz jam between Phil and Keith is not to be missed.
