Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

The Saint is the real gem here. The build up right before the 'sure don't know..' verse is insane!

The Other One
April 26, 1969
The Electric Theatre

Hot version with The Eleven sandwiched in the middle
New Potato Caboose
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Incredible. The jam after drums is one of the all time greats!
Black Peter
Oct. 16, 1977
Louisiana State U

Outstanding version that ends with a flurry of tremolo picked Jerry notes. Comes out of a solid Terrapin as well
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 4, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Center

I prefer this one to 8/6/74
Let It Grow
Oct. 29, 1977
Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

^ absolutely agree that 5/1/81 is the best. That show is at the top of my official release wishlist, along with 9/12/81..
