A triumphant, anthemic version that shows another, powerful side to it. Great piano work gives it a nice flavor.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Hill Auditorium

Just transcendentally perfect. The whole set from Cryptical on is monumental '71 headiness.

Playin' In The Band

Hill Auditorium

About here Playin' starts stretching out. Only 7 min long, but there's a lot of charge here: Listen to all of them thinking "let's take this furthur".

A little more love for the early ones? A strong and powerful version that never loses focus. Beautiful.

Bristling hot show opener shows how they meant business. Dec. '71 is special transition time and this one pins you to the wall with energy.

Starts really loose, but gets going.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Crystal clear and jam-a-licious. A sparkling beauty.
Let It Grow

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Confirms why I'm not so into the '80s.

Hollywood Palladium

"Mellowish" but not mellow like the sleeeeeeeepy '76s. It still has some of the psychedelic bite from the primal years. Love love love it.

Dane County Coliseum

I'd vote for this one twice on the MLB alone. Zo zweet.
