The Other One
Hot damn can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet! Too much for words, just listen - this is the hottest of 1974 and one of the best ever!!!
12
Beat it on Down The Line
Jerry throws in a riff from My Old Kentucky Home!
18
Tennessee Jed
The freakin harmonies on this one I miss that trio singing Euro 72 style. Back when Phil could sing that high
30
Loose Lucy
Kicks off potentially the most epic set 2, with a bouncy excellent version of the song. Forget the lyrical flubs.
17
El Paso
The best one you can find besides 11/11/73, which is the playin>elpaso>playin sandwhich. TRUST ME
41
China Doll
This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.
41
Let It Grow
Let Grow 20 min into a jamming other one
18
Big River
Top shelf version, one of the best.

Sugar Magnolia
Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

It Must Have Been The Roses
In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Mexicali Blues
Insanely fast and precise
21
Black Throated Wind
Great show from Louisville KY @ Freedom Hall. One hell of a show.

Playin' In The Band
Such a nice version. Very complex with every member giving it their best. All sorts of changes throughout.
