Latest Dave’s Version is solid. Slower than some versions but very bluesy and Pig is at his best

Interesting song and show. Not a good recording and not the best show but worth a listen. Honky Tonk Women? From NFA on, it sounds like the Dead.

Wake Up Little Susie
Aug. 19, 1970
Fillmore West

I agree with the poster. A great song that they played the hell out of. I was surprised that they didn’t bring it back in 1980.
Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 16, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

I thought this would be the top non S->F version and it is a 3 way tie. Interesting. This is a great and unusual show.

Great American Music Hall

Thought this would be number one. It is not, but it is close. I am playing the June 76 box now so will compare.
The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Smokin’! As good as any and better than most. The only reason this is not higher is that this show is not as well known. Fall 77 is great but not as well known as May/Spring.
Mexicali Blues
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

This wasn’t played on this date. Steppin’ Out was 5/24/72.
