Great guitar work highlights this version, Jerry is dialed in from the get-go. Great show.

Posted the wrong date before; anyway, this is a scorcher.

Don't sleep on this one - super dark and intense version.

Great version that gets really spooky towards the end. Very nice exploratory passages with Jerry, Brent and the Devils especially shining.

An utterly whacked out version. Healy's vocal effects are just plain weird.

Hell in a Bucket

Soldier Field

This should be higher as well. The whole band absolutely attacks the song. It has a punch few others do.

MASSIVE jam here. Jerry and Bruce destroy this one. Top 5.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

This should have 100+ votes. It's an absolutely massive version. So quiet and pretty most of the time than just frightens the shit out of you unrelentingly. Incredible version; Billy is on fire here.
They Love Each Other

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Love this version a lot. Jerry's on fire every second of the first set.

Madison Square Garden

One of the very best post-Brent performances of any song. Jerry is as good as he's ever been here.
