Crippling pace Jer had to have carved one off his amp prior to this.

Stella Blue

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Controlled distortion is an art that Jer can paint with. Brent lends the waterglass accents here and there all good.

One More Saturday Night

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

JG upfront in the mix and rips your bluesy face off. Cowbells, bangin' keys and DJ caterwauling - it's all here.

Estimated Prophet

Jerry digs for it and throws aces in the jam.
Cold Rain and Snow

Winterland Arena

If you are a KG fan listen right here....
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 22, 1972
Austin Municipal Auditorium

If you like Europe ‘72 stylings dig into the fall tour through the Southwest. This CC is duly jangly, jaunty and whirling while during the Rider hear Jerry go ripshit and shoot out ALL the lights of the saloon. Keith is stellar, Phil is everywhere, Bdubs supports grandly and Billy the Kidd keeps it tight. We all love a hot Rider and for me this one never disappoints. Whole show is noteworthy in a hallowed year of this bands history.
He's Gone
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

Hey Grendel - if you like this one take a spin on 11/22/72 ... it’s got a pretty special He’s Goneness vibe in my book.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Muscle bound rocker > Top5 GDTRFB > steriod popping Randy Savage NFA reprise. Crusty hot sauce on the board but you'll still feel the heat if you like rock'n'roll.
