Me and My Uncle

Dane County Coliseum

Bobby sings the hell out of this one. I know we've all heard dozens of these, but this one had that little bit extra that throws it over the top.

Looks Like Rain

This song usually doesn't do it for me, but this is quite pretty. The SBD cuts out mid-solo, but it's a minor problem.

Jerry flubs some lyrics, but I liked the solo. Hints at the promise later to come in this well-known show.

The surviving tape has some issues, but this is a powerful version.

Space
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

Honest terminology question: I always thought Space was the post-hiatus, (usually) post-drums bit?
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

This needs some love, it's a killer version.
Not Fade Away

Incredible version. Outstanding jam, and things fall apart perfectly into GDTRFB.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

Billy is smoking!
Here Comes Sunshine

This whole show looks like it needs some love. Less jamming on the earlier versions, obviously, but really well-done.
