You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
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.

Might As Well

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.

Damn fine version of this song!
Morning Dew
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

Maybe part of a good sequence but this was the most sterile, unemotional version of this song I've ever heard.
All Along the Watchtower

The Spectrum

Holy Shit does he dominate this song! It's like they ramped this version up to make up for that sub-par Gimme Some Lovin' out of Space. Absolutely great show.

The Spectrum

Sought this show out due to the previous posts/comments recently. Wow. I'm starting to think you could put October '89 up against May '77 or April/May '72 for historic greatness. Different eras. Different musicians. But the late 80's did give some great moments.
The Other One
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

The way this Other One starts, it's almost angry. But it flows into a smooth, almost reflective, jam between verses that Phil then draws back into an angry focus, that then melts into Stella. Incredible version!
