Victim Or The Crime
Sept. 3, 1988
Capital Centre

Smokin' hot version in its early pairing with Foolish Heart. This whole unusual 2nd set rips!

Nobody's Fault But Mine
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Fully jammed out vocal version in underrated jam from late '73...probably the peak period for NFBM...

Easy Wind
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Rippin' Easy Wind with TC high in the mix. This whole show is underrated.

Big River

Not flawless, but smokin' hot nonetheless

Turn On Your Love Light

The Warehouse

40 minute RAGER? In N'awlins? With Peter Green? Well, alRIGHT!!!
The Other One
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

This one is a beast! Pretty sure it's from the early show, though.
Shakedown Street
April 2, 1989
Civic Arena

Shakedown was like the white whale of my touring career. Took me so long to see one live! This smoker was one of the first I missed (sitting in the freezing, riotous parking lot that night), and upon listening, probably the best.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 24, 1979
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

The China Cat starts a lil' shaky, but they get it together...Jerry goes FAN CITY on the end of this Rider...what a turnaround!
Estimated Prophet
Oct. 26, 1989
Miami Arena

Maybe my favorite version ever. I love the unhinged way Bob screams "MY NAME" twice in some of these latter-day versions. Incredible jam into Blow Away and Dark Star. Just an amazingly energetic and psychedelic show!
