Rockin' show opener at the Greek

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Hartford Civic Center

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

Playin' In The Band
March 23, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Much like 9/12/81, this show would greatly benefit from a clean SBD source, but the audience recording available is crisp and clear. Phenomenal show!
New Minglewood Blues
March 23, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

This one has some serious muscle and swagger
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

I usually prefer versions without the Feelin’ Groovy jam, but this one is extra groovy
Scarlet Begonias
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

First time played, and although it’s only 7 minutes long, it’s rather enjoyable. I prefer the Todd Evans aud source to the DP version
Row Jimmy
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

Gained an even deeper appreciation for this version after listening to the Menke AUD. The second solo is transcendent, ethereal, majestic..
