Nobody's Fault But Mine

Winterland Arena

This one has more of an Other One-ish feel than most...they seem like they're pushing for it but end up going in a completely different direction

P.N.E. Coliseum

One of the best mellow blues versions...killer noodles from Jerry

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Very graceful playing on this one, gets kind of spacey leading up to a smooth as butter transition into Dark Star.

Truckin'

Olympiahalle

Killer jam out of this Truckin' with a huge peak that gives way to some fast-paced space-jazz from Jerry, and landing on a quick little mellow MLBJ

Beautiful, mellow version. Garica's tone is especially sweet, with an almost country-ish flavor; sounds like he's using a bit of slide?

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.
