Mama Tried

Winterland Arena

Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

Stir It Up
April 5, 1991
The Omni

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

The Music Never Stopped

Giants Stadium

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

I Need A Miracle

Madison Square Garden

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Nice to not hear a feeling groovy transition every once in awhile from 72.
Cumberland Blues
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Surprised so low. Barnburner.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 4, 1991
Richfield Coliseum

Richfield 1990-1993, had some great shows. I think they are always in the shadow of the more well known venues.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 16, 1974
Iowa State Fairgrounds

Forgot how unique and cool this version is. It's just different than most 73/74 versions, but obviously jammed well.
I Know You Rider
July 17, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Maybe the best Rider of all time
