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.

I agree with PigPensHype. This is the second best I have heard behind DP1. Great piano and solos. Late 73 is as good as this gets, but I think this edges out 11/14, 11/17 and 12/06. 12/06 is close.

“ Now mind you Jerry fucks up the lyrics a few times so if that really bothers you you might not think this is the best ever.” If that really bothers you, maybe you should try a different band. So many of the best versions of songs come from mistakes.

Awesome. I really love this song, it definitely has a 60s vibe though.
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Shrine Auditorium

For me, this tops The Warlocks 89. So number 3.

I will have to go through the rest on this page. I know this show and the Matrix but not the others. I need to be in a particular mindset to listen to multiple 68 shows in a row.
