How can this one not be on here? This is what early Bertha should sound like! Check out Billy K...

The very last time the Candyman came around. Also the last time I saw Jer, and I was right up front for this one.

Huge 80's LIG @ MSG. Really nice work from Weir. I'm surprised this one isn't ranked yet. Listen on 30 Days of the Dead from 2013

Szechuan Jerry...he's all sweet and hot on this one from the 30 Trips box. Spicy!

Extremely powerful version, especially for a west coast, afternoon show! Not perfect, but pretty underrated, and the last time I got to see Brent :(

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

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.
