Winterland Arena

If Picasso's 'Guernica' had a small cut in it it would still be a masterpiece. This TOO has a bad cut in the recording but is still a masterpiece. A+

This is heady but it's now believed to have occurred on 5-11-69 in San Diego.

A highly edited but well-worth-your-time video of this kickass performance is now up on youtube.

Jerry's singing and electrified Keith make this one heady.

Plenty happening on this one to warrant a listen. Nice segue into 'Drums'.

While it seems that the boys did indeed play a few numbers on this date, it appears that the performance was truncated. And it also appears that out of perhaps simple mislabeling 5/11/69 was circulated under this date.

Spectacular version. More needs to be said about this one but first more need to listen to it.

Found this one on account of a nice heads up from somebody on the archive.

Big (U.S.) bluesy jam out of this one and into 'Promised Land'. Unique.

A picture-perfect version smack dab in the middle of an epic sequence.
