HOT version, outro is a bit fast, in keeping with the entire era. But Jerry's leads are on fire, sounds straight outta 74

Winterland Arena

Solid — easily a top 20 version (maybe higher). But way better than it’s current rank ...great outro, the usual 74 excellence

A worthy #2 to the GOAT of 12/19

Knickerbocker Arena

There were just some songs Brent's organ and voice added so much to - this is one of the rare tunes I thought was better in the Brent era -- filled out the sound, "fixed" the harmonies. Same with Brokedown

I think this one is better than Alpine.....
Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Madison Square Garden

This is so clearly head and shoulders above the rest. Best Jerry vocals, best back-up vocals, best Jerry solo, don’t sleep on brent’s piano solos! If you don’t think this is the best it’s because you ain’t heard it!
