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!

Nobody's Fault But Mine

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.

New Haven Coliseum

I agree grendel, this version is definitely better than 6/30/85; it brings the serious funk!
Terrapin Station
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

"Alahambra" should really be labeled "At a Siding", since that is what this piece is called on the album version of the Terrapin Suite. But technicalities aside, this is a good one, and not just for the historical significance.

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Awesome extended soloing in this one
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

One of the all-time best Crypticals IMO. They really take this one up a notch towards the end.
The Other One
Nov. 22, 1972
Austin Municipal Auditorium

Good one! Gets better with each listen.
