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

Dancin' in the Streets
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

My 7th birthday! Wow...this is a truly smokin' jam! Dancin'>Mojo>Dancin'>Wheel? Yes please.
Cumberland Blues
April 14, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

FOUR votes? C'mon people... this one's a smoker!
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Aw jeez...what can I add? This is the one you've been looking for, no doubt. If you ever wondered what it would sound like if Jerry was in a metal band, and they played U.S. Blues, here you go. You gotta see the video, though. STARTLING to see Jerry move like that on stage. I love it. Not the tightest, but ol' Jer clearly had ALL of his mixes dialed that night. Just exactly perfect.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 14, 1971
Davis Gym, Bucknell University

This one is a SMOKER. I think this is close to the prototype version of China>Rider in it's peak period. They got jammier later on, but they were never this punchy again. Sounds great on 30DoD from 2012...
He's Gone
Feb. 26, 1981
Uptown Theater

An amazing jam emerges out of this one...almost 10 minutes worth of unique goodness!
