A big version. Listen as the baton gets passed without missing a beat.

An A1 performance that just improves with repeated listenings.

They Love Each Other

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

A bull's ass in fly season and the boys on this one are both TIGHT!!! (Although tight might not be the correct word for an awesome TLEO.)

Stanley Theatre

While not without imperfection, this version gets at that misty quality central to the ethos of the tune.

Just heard this for the first time and I want to go back for more! Out of curiosity, how is the sound on the official release?
One More Saturday Night

Beat Club

Liked this one as soon as I saw it, Phil just crushes it at the end.

Rheinhalle

Never sounds the same twice.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

Love that little jam of 'The Wheel' in this one.
Feel Like A Stranger
Oct. 5, 1984
Charlotte Coliseum

I could easily see this being up there in the double-digits with the voting. The jam goes into fast Playin'-type territory.
