Punchy little version played to an enthusiastic crowd. Whole band goes off on this.

Less delicate than many of the top rated, but part of nice sequence that hints at the full set jams to come next month.

Fantastic version, one of the greatest.

Pauly Pavillion

Agreed. Worth a listen, gets quite spacey (with Brent channeling some 70s electric jazz for good measure).
Cold Rain and Snow

Winterland Arena

Cuca, you'll love the ripping jam into TOO. I've never heard anything like it.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Philadelphia Civic Center

This is a mighty fine version! I love your descriptions. As someone who just moved out of the great state of Maine, there's nothing like turning something great up, sitting out on the porch with something tasty to consume, and living the dream.

Fillmore East

I think they actually rather mangle the transition (they're in different tempos for godssakes) but that's part of the magic for me.
