Winterland Arena

Nice locked in version. 13 minutes of what a Playin' should be.

Might As Well

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This show is often overlooked, but excellent on its own merits. Opens with a bang with a powerful Might As Well.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

I really love this Supplication. It starts pretty chill and then catches fire.

They do drive this one home!
St. Stephen

St. Louis Arena

They actually fuck up the verses and have to truncate the whole Stephen. Definitely not epic!

St. Louis Arena

This one verse is far from standout version. Its a very good NFA with a verse of IKO in it. No more, no less.
Not Fade Away

St. Louis Arena

Great NFA! The IKO is basically just one verse meshed into the NFA as stated above.

Musically this is pretty standard. Obviously, the vocals are priceless. Musically, Winterland 10/78 is super sick. At the end Jerry did get more emotional on So many roads, SOTM, etc. Not sure the vocal emotion should make this number one. No up-vote here, only because 10/21/78 is really the definitive version. This version is worthy of a listen, tho.
