Zig zagging but controlled. Excellent version

Bird Song
Aug. 29, 1983
Silva Hall, Hult Center

Majorly underrated show, but A+ performance, and one of the best shows of 83'. Very tight Bird Song here.

Scorching...

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Recreation Hall - Penn State University

Long and epic. Transition is on fire, and whole combo flows perfectly.

The Eleven
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Immediately comes to mind when looking for a monster rendition. Flowing and super raging.
St. Stephen
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Power in full swinging abundance. Not the longest version but packs a strong punch. Segues out of an altogether dimension eclipsing Dark Star, and segues into a mad Eleven with huge peaks and Garcia butane fuel jamming.
Caution
Feb. 24, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

This version is sick. Lightning tempos, and ferocious psychedelic jamming.
Franklin's Tower
Sept. 29, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Very mellow, and the beginning lead in is sincerely and concisely played. Nearly 17 minutes of sweet action.
Big River
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Keith and Jerry absolutely crush this.
