Hofheinz Pavilion

A Homo erectus-like version but notable for Jerry's solo after the first Rio Grandee chorus.

Jerry impassioned yet subdued singing in that ragged and worn voice is deeply affecting.

Playin' In The Band

Arrowhead Stadium

The most interesting version I can think of that clocks in at under 9 minutes, and that ain't meant to disparage none of those fine '71 versions.

And great final jam, too! This one is a monster. In fact, this whole show is one fine little nugget.
Big Railroad Blues

Wembley Empire Pool

Still always the first one that comes to mind.
