Don't sleep on this one - the band is firing on all cylinders to cover this lovely Dylan song

Really fascinating space/jam after drums, lots of other one hints that ends in an abrupt NFA transition

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Phil-tastic - some vocal miscues but excellent regardless

C. C. Rider

Meadowlands Arena

Spencer Davis, not Dryden. Alright C C Rider followed by the only rendition of I'm a Man. Now THAT kicks ass - should be a must hear. The ENTIRE band is on fire + Davis + Hornsby guest sit ins
Truckin'
Oct. 21, 1972
Vanderbilt University

You know that feeling of a guilty pleasure? I get it everytime I hear this Truckin'. Charlie Miller might call it a "horrible mix" but to me LESH IS MORE!!! (Okay to be honest though the mix is quite bad)
Morning Dew
March 23, 1992
The Palace

Last Dew of the Bruce era, not to be missed. As others have pointed out, they get a little extra spicy near the end. Jerry's vocals are great too, right on target
Doin' That Rag
April 23, 1969
The Ark

Jerry's really great on this one, classic Primal Dead
Shakedown Street
Oct. 31, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Phil bombs galore - great mix to showcase the band interplay in the early Brent days
