Foxboro Stadium

Powerful stadium-sized blast of Dylan. This one just clicks along almost perfectly. Brent's B3 solo just rips...

Great LL Rain from my first show. Some "thunder" audio weirdness (Healy?) makes this one unique. Nice raindrop notes fom Jerry at the climax, too.

Nicely stretched out, mellow version from Summer '80. This one has some righteous peaks and I love Brent's B3 sound here.

Fillmore West

This is the one. Jerry shows what he learned from Janis vocally on this one. Just dripping with emotion.

This is just a monster version. The boys are finally clickin' on all cylinders on this scorching afternoon. Every member really shines.

Jer just SMOKES this one...vocals are on point and so expressive. Outro jam is thunderous...

Fillmore East

Pig, Bob, and Jerry all get off smokin' solos in this monster version! 11:00!!
Eyes Of The World
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

For me, easily the best one ever. Just the smooth, jazzy way Bill kicks this one off...pretty flawless.
He Was A Friend of Mine

Fillmore Auditorium

THIS is the one I grew up on...well jammed w/ some pretty sick harmonies.
