Jerry's voice is shot, but his tone is DIALED.

Technically Phil & Friends, but this is a nice (only?) acoustic version. Link: https://archive.org/details/1994-09-24.paf.sbd.zelner-vernon

Nice peppy version to open the show, nice solo, and I loved hearing someone near the taper snort with laughter when Bobby flubs a line.
China Doll
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

I'm a little biased, but I think this Eyes > China Doll is a killer combo. And did they play those extended outros in '74? I've not heard one yet, but I might have missed one...
Playin' In The Band

It's nice to hear them do the "song" part (before solos/explorations) with this much energy. And the rest of the song doesn't disappoint.
Crazy Fingers

Capital Centre

I only heard the matrix, but think this is a very nice version!
Let It Grow

Capital Centre

I think this song hits a strong resurgence in the 90s. This is an excellent specimen if you're hunting around for something outside of the 70s.
