Good version with a great solo from Jerry. I like this show more and more each time I listen to it!

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

This was a nice find. The boys sound energetic and the playing is crisp and bright. There are a few nice jams before an extended jam into Truckin’

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
April 6, 1978
Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Incredibly high energy throughout with maybe the single best transition into the Supplication jam (not the verse) I've heard yet. They really nail this one.
He's Gone
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

My go-to version. Practically flawless, effortlessly gorgeous and the outro jam into The Other One is sublime. A+

Roosevelt Stadium

I've come back to this version many times and it never disappoints. Crazy underrated, probably bc this show is AUD only. The crescendo of the final solo is phenomenal!
Black Throated Wind
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

Very, very good
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

Total powerhouse, certainly one of the best versions out there.
