Playin' In The Band
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

A good cure for those 'No 'Cid Blues'. This one is a gem.

Morning Dew

Fox Theater

Part of the first Playin' sandwich. The transition back into Playin' is like the cops kicking your door in at 4 a.m. it is so sudden and surprising.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

An aural honeypot capping a dynamite show.

Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

A breezy and pleasant intro gives way to a monstrous intra-verse portion that features some 'Uncle John's Band'-themed jamming.

Dark Star

Cleveland Public Hall

Serene, frenetic, diffuse, cluttered--in short, this one goes through more changes than David Bowie's hair. Pheatures a phleshed out 'Philo Stomp'.

Playin' In The Band
July 1, 1978
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.

Arrowhead Stadium

Another nice one.

Arrowhead Stadium

The goods get delivered, '78 vintage-style.
Jack Straw

Arrowhead Stadium

And great final jam, too! This one is a monster. In fact, this whole show is one fine little nugget.
Big Railroad Blues
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

Still always the first one that comes to mind.
