Winterland Arena

Very beautiful, almost sparse playing on this one. It's different than most from '74 but it works.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Short but high octane version with Billy and Jerry crushing it...the jam rises to a furious climax!

Palais Des Sports

Unusual version that starts out very quiet and minimalistic, alternating throughout from hot to cold. Jerry and Billy are really tearing it up!

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Killer Nobody's jam in which Jerry apparently breaks a string, but Keith steps up very nicely. Some subtle Other One teases towards the end of one.

Indeed a wonderful version, one of my favorites of the year in fact.

Very fine version, but try 9/18/74 for a best-of-the-year contender.

Stanley Theater

Sort of a sloppy version, but they more than make up for it with an insanely ferocious jam with multiple Jerry peaks. Overall, this is one of the best I've heard.

Awesome extended version...pure rock 'n roll.
