Hampton Coliseum

Final jam here is smoking. Crowd is roaring and the whole band is on fire.

Cooks powerfully, absolutely spaced out version. Really cool improvisation here, really great stuff.

A psychedelic mind-fuck. Some racing and cool interweaving beats and solos. Really flowing and awesome version.

A constructed super beautifully contained version, one of preseance and atmosphere

Comments

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.
