William and Mary College Hall

Surprised this isn't listed yet. This version is by far the best with the horns, with Jerry and Martin really getting into it with some fiery leads!

Fillmore West

Monster reprise, one of the longest and best ever.

Scarlet Begonias

Roosevelt Stadium

Unusual and fiery version making up the meat of an otherworldly Playin' sandwich.

Cryptical Envelopment

Fillmore West

Without question, the best Crypt reprise ever performed. This one reaches the limits of space and time.

Cow Palace

First ever Scarlet Begonias. Very unusual sound with a very tentative, bluesy feel, but it's still a keeper and worth hearing for the novelty at least

Absolutely ON FIRE. Hottest version of the spring tour, easily.

Amazing soaring and melodic jamming!! Best of '76? It gets my vote!

Field House - Seneca College

One of my favorites, very unique jam.
Wharf Rat

Assembly Hall - Indiana University

Wonderful outro, with a *seamless* transition from the triumphant sounding jam of WR back to the space-jazz jamming of Playin' reprise.

Broome County Arena

Amazing, triumphant jamming. One of the most powerful versions ever played.
