Hollywood Bowl

Wildly exuberant both before and after "SSDD" vocals. And Billy is all over this great AUD.

County Coliseum

Swings and shimmies before busting out the heavy artillery.

Friend of the Devil

Miami Arena

Played pretty fast (for the slow version) and heavy with MIDI and spirited playing. Not to everyone’s taste, perhaps, but I like it!

Ramble On Rose

Charlotte Coliseum

Sparkling rendition. Fans of upbeat '89 versions like 7/7 should check this out.

Kiel Auditorium

Sharp, feisty version with Jerry and Brent setting up a beautiful, dreamy -> Terrapin

It Must Have Been The Roses
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater

Exquisitely played, and the sound of this Seamons matrix is to die for.
The Other One
Nov. 23, 1973
County Coliseum

This brain-rattling is exactly what I needed to get through a trying afternoon.
Morning Dew
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Volcanic eruption. Cataclysmic.
Good Lovin'
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

There’s a lot to love here despite the relative brevity, not least of which is that sassy late ’69 – early ’70 cowbell I can’t get enough of.
Wharf Rat

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Wow, this is … where did this come from? Vastly more developed than most other early versions. Edgier and more interesting than many played later.
