Just A Little Light

Sandstone Amphitheatre

This version is extremely delicate yet powerful. Brent is soulful a usual, while Jerry really goes to outer space with his fluttery lead lines.

Very tight version, with a SUPER climax. Phil will rattle your teeth with this bomb! One of the best peaks

Jerry's intro on this Wheel rivals Kincerbocker 1990. Just beautiful...

Very mellow, deep version here. Old man Jerry doing his best. Hornsby adds a lot too

Easily one of the best. High energy and A+ execution. A good version to quiet the naysayers!!
China Doll

Knickerbocker Arena

Seriously this is a very beautiful, emotional China Doll. A must listen
Terrapin Station

Cobo Arena

Wow how is this not ranked in the Top 5? Amazing Terrapin here.
The Other One

Paramount Theater

The jam passage in the middle of this make it truly unique, and one of the best pieces of improvisational jamming during one of their strongest years. With hints of what sounds like the Weather Report intro and GDTRFB, St. Stephen and even Samson...it’s an amazing thing.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Total brain-fry meltdown! Amazing gem from an admittedly rough year.
