May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

The vocals for Donna are low on the recording but the rest of the band are so tight this version really kicks ass!

How can you hate any version where Brent is just totally invested?

And We Bid You Goodnight

Winterland Arena

You only get about the half the song in the recording but the band is awesome sounding and the audience is going insane!

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Really heavy on Brent's synth at the beginning on the recording, which isn't a bad thing. Great vocal play with Jerry, Bob, & Brent.

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Nice light and bouncy version. Jerry is spot on with his lyrics. The boys sound like they're having fun.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 2, 1978
Giants Stadium

I had to give this a listen after reading all the other comments, and I have to admit I was sleeping on this one. Maybe because the recording I have is a little fuzzy but, damn, Jerry starts building something with the first Scarlet jam and the boys follow along on the journey, and it is AWESOME! Must listen.
Friend of the Devil
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Great version. Probably my favorite of the Keith & Donna era.
Hard to Handle
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Holy Schmokin' Balls! To paraphrase the movie Dazed and Confused, "Don't tell me about no Hard to Handle from 8-6-71, man. Your brain couldn't handle that shit on strong acid."
Midnight Hour
Sept. 3, 1967
Dance Hall

This is Pig at his matchmaking best. "C'mon Bobby, go on down there and dance with that little girl." 10 minutes of him getting people of their asses and into the aisles dancing.
Cumberland Blues
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

This one is so good, I wish I could vote for it twice.
