Cow Palace

Pretty darn perfect. Mellow funkiness of 76 with 77 precision.

Madison Square Garden

Contains a cool Samson and Delilah jam with each member (incl. Vince) contributing equally. Everyone is on.

Jerry is clearly in the mood to rock out in this show, and this song benefits from it. Raw. Great solos. Very funky.

Band bristles with restrained energy. Jerry's voice is scratchy and perfect. Great harmony on the chorus.

Yep. This is it. I love a lot of the versions posted here, but this one is head and shoulders above the rest.

Stands up to its 70s brethren.

For me, this just barely edges out 6/9/1977.

The Mosque

This is the first time this song ever really stood out to me.
