This is when I thought the show locked in.

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

The Spectrum

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Total zig in the setlist.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 11, 1977
Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

It's not just the great long never-ending jam, it's also the exceptional vocal outro before the jam.
Let It Grow

Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

This is killer stuff. Dark edged.
Bird Song
Sept. 10, 1972
Hollywood Palladium

One of the three best versions of this song. Criminally underrated.
El Paso
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

A desert vision amidst the Star's space.
