Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Aug. 6, 1982
St. Paul Civic Center

The songs are played perfectly, then after Saint comes a little jam into the drums, full of twists and turns.

Uncle John's Band

RFK Stadium

Heartfelt version with Hornsby accordian which actually works well.

Sugar Magnolia
Dec. 31, 1972
Winterland Arena

David Crosby's rhythm guitar gives this a unique sound. It reminds me of the old "Juicy Fruit" commercials.

The Other One
June 7, 1970
Fillmore West

Weird version with kooky political chant during drums, then more chanting during Cryptical Reprise. (Pretty weird set overall.)

St. Stephen
Oct. 31, 1983
Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium

My favorite of the 83 edition. Great jam out of space to set this one up.

Benefits from the momentum gathered beforehand.

Giants Stadium

Good placement; several versions I saw would have been better after Drums.
Corrina
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

I have to agree this is one of the best versions, with a very unique country jam at the end.
Uncle John's Band
April 17, 1982
Hartford Civic Center

Picture-perfect rendition, out of a very beautiful Space and an excellent transition.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 31, 1981
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.
