Fillmore West
Pure psychedelic pop bubbles up over the top and into Sittin on Top.

Bird Song

Giants Stadium
Yes, the rest of the show is pretty poor, and a good bit of this meanders, but once they dial it in it has O1-like intensity.

Terrapin Station
Oct. 19, 1994
Madison Square Garden
Another long jam in the outro. Shades of Rider (a theme at this run), and JG staying on for most of Drums.

Madison Square Garden
Not the most exploratory version, but very tight. BW on acoustic.

Playin' In The Band
Jan. 18, 1978
Stockton Civic Auditorium
Weird atypical version where a good bit of the jam is just BW and the drummers, playing themes that sound like song ideas. Worth hearing.

Good placement; several versions I saw would have been better after Drums.

I have to agree this is one of the best versions, with a very unique country jam at the end.
Uncle John's Band

Hartford Civic Center
Picture-perfect rendition, out of a very beautiful Space and an excellent transition.
Playin' In The Band

Oakland Auditorium
There's a great moment about 11 mins in when they've kind of died down, and then just surge back, all as one.
