Wave to the Wind

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Good early version. I like the more complicated changes in 1992, almost seems like they were trying for an Eyes-feel.

The Other One
Feb. 24, 1992
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

One of the stronger late-era versions. Split across Drums (with a third jam segment before). What's not to like?

I'm surprised this early version hasn't been mentioned. Very loose, and builds nicely to the Other One.

Eternity
March 25, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

From a pretty solid first set, this is a stand-out version of Eternity with Bruce Hornsby: worth a listen.

Deal
Aug. 4, 1994
Giants Stadium

In the midst of a lackluster set (and show, and tour) this is a great version. Not as explosive, but well explored, with several intricate parts.

Mason's Children
Dec. 28, 1969
International Speedway

Surely the most "out-there" Mason's ever done: points in some interesting dimensions that the band went in 1970, and some that they sadly didn't get to explore.
China Doll
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

All of the elements which make a version strong are here in excess.
Bertha
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Definitive.
Row Jimmy
May 16, 1993
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Good use of MIDI on this late-afternoon version.
You Don't Have To Ask
March 25, 1966
Trouper's Hall

This is one of our earliest examples of the band really stretching out on a song; you can see the steps they're taking toward the Cream Puffs of '66 (and of course Viola Lee).
