Playin' In The Band
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

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

Might As Well
Oct. 10, 1976
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.

Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

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

China Doll

Nassau Coliseum

Oh yeah...the transition from china doll>UJB is spot on.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

Hidden gem here. This could be top 20 if anyone listened to this obscure show.
The Other One
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

"Spanish lady come to me." Love this Spanish O1.
Standing On The Moon
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

Yes, the voice isn't perfect, but what does it for me...he reprises "be with u" not once but twice and maybe the ragged voice even add to it. Also, the final jam with reprises is quite long. Jer is great in the jam, but Bob adds some serious power riffs that really drive this version home, too.
Foolish Heart
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

Beast almost 14 minute Foolish. This was best run of 1995.
