St. Paul Civic Center

They’re all on fire, but Brent and Jerry are molten hot. Not bad.

Unusually high energy Black Peter, great playing and a strong finish

Drums -> Space

St. Paul Civic Center

Drums is cool and intense but the space is a standout. The jam into Throwing Stones is spectacular!

St. Paul Civic Center

Sounds great, very Brent-forward in the mix. Very well-played and jammed out as it drifts into drums…

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+
Tennessee Jed

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.
