Throwing Stones

Cal Expo

VERY rare Throwing Stones that isn't the second to last set closer - goes straight into a solid GDTRFB

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 20, 1983
The Centrum

Awesome Eyes, with what appears to be Jerry playing Bobby's licks in the very beginning - AUD only but spectacular nonetheless

Playin' In The Band

Boston Garden

Petrified that I'm the first to nominate this - DO NOT SKIP JUST BECAUSE ITS AN AUD - Awesome Playin' that dissolves into a spectacular He's Gone

Victim Or The Crime
Sept. 18, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Long intro to this one - as time went on it seems that the band, especially Jerry, were beginning to grow fond of the dark space that Victim provided.
Loser
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

A rare post-'72 Sweet Suzy - solo ain't as bad as Bignoze says IMO. Lots of beautiful interplay as stated before. Vocals are definetely up there with best of '74
China Doll
Dec. 30, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

Excellent version with flawless outro into A&A. The only NFA>China Doll I believe
Stella Blue
Dec. 10, 1972
Winterland Arena

The outro, though cut, is one of the most solid for the period. You can tell it's going somewhere heady
Promised Land
Dec. 10, 1972
Winterland Arena

Really rockin' version to open the second set
