I know, I know you can't pick Ithica for everything, but this is one of the best versions ever.

I will take a Dew after space any day of the week and twice on the weekends. This one delivers!
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

It gets a vote for the famous sing along. But also credit this version as holding it's own as one of the best.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

One of my favorite sequences. Slipknot!-> Franklin's->OMSN, E: U.S. Blues. Such a rocking encore, definitely one of the best ever.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Agreed it is also one of my favorite ever Jams. US Blues seemed to work well out of space and long jams.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

The video is must see. This US Blues is as amped as it could possibly be.
