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

The Centrum

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

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

Really punchy version. The Oade brothers recording has everyone beautifully in the mix. One of my favorite AUD's.

Any version after '72 with a Sweet Suzy deserves an immediate upvote - really builds both playing and vocally

My dog literally perked its head and ears up when it heard the final solo when I was playing the vinyl release. Totally heady + Keith is the man!

Madison Square Garden

That roar during "Just like New York City" is just awesome - fantastic version.
