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'.

Maybe I'm just being a bit lazy of mind, but I don't think I've heard a version from '77 that tops this one.

Hartford Civic Center

A worthwhile version from the post-hiatus Godchaux years (none of that pensive timidity in the jamming). If you like Keith's keys from the 4/23/77 'Slipknot' you may want to check this one out, and vice versa.

Something a little too speckless about this one for me.

Wow, the first 15 seconds of this one on the Sick Bits matrix is super heady in a feel-good way. Awesome stuff, awesome 'Star.

Each of the Estimateds from July '78 serve up a sweet outro jam.
