This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
June 23, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton

The Boston Blues comes after the best jam ever I agree, this one comes after the most intense jam ever. The transition is seamless

Hershey Park Stadium

Heartfelt Set 1 version. Killer combo.
Morning Dew
June 18, 1983
Saratoga Performing Arts Center

This is a great and a most powerful Dew. Phil drops throughout reminiscent of Freedom '74. The band was all fired up and firing on all cylinders this night.
To Lay Me Down
Sept. 26, 1980
Warfield Theater

Heck no. This one deserves to be much higher. And possibly definitive.
To Lay Me Down
