An electric version, raunchy and cool. Unlike any other version.

This version is head and shoulders above the other versions I've heard. The ending jam is outrageous.

Intense Truckin' -> Drums -> The Other One Jam -> Eyes Of The World -> Sugar Magnolia sandwich. Give it a whirl!

Absolute monster early version.
Let It Grow

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

The beginning of this song is pure disco beats. Never heard that until now, what a powerhouse version...
To Lay Me Down

Winterland Arena

This version is absolutely breath taking, should be near the top of the list..
St. Stephen

Barton Hall - Cornell University

I'm gonna have to agree with this vote as top notch. In a show I definitely feel is good but not great the vibe of this version is awesome. Broke the tape listening to this version way back when!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

35th anniversary of this legendary show today. Spun the Scarlet>Fire and enjoyed it, not sure if it's #1 though. I personally prefer 05-17-77 better but that's IMO. Beautiful still though 35yrs and counting!!
