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

Midnight Hour
Sept. 3, 1967
Dance Hall

To quote Jerry, (re: Johnny B. Goode) "This is the one it's all about, folks..." Primal Dead at it's drippy, awkward, lumbering best. Jer's got the late '67 Les Paul tone that I love so much, and Pigpen's at his match-making, crowd-exhorting, frontman best. Hang onto your hats, you guys.
Playin' In The Band
May 10, 1972
Concertgebouw

They do "get weird" indeed. Wow, these Europe '72 Playin's were somethin ELSE!
Sugaree
Aug. 26, 1980
Cleveland Public Auditorium

Heady 13 minute version I got from 30DoD 2013.
Comes A Time
Oct. 30, 1971
Taft Auditorium

I really love these early ones with the extra verse Jerry dropped later. Great vocal delivery on this one...
Sugaree
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

Spinning this (DP10) now for the 40th anniversary of this show today. Really nice one! Wolf's tone over the TB gives this one an edge over the May giants, at least for me. Jerry really gets to fannin' some flames in the middle solo. This one is titanic.
