Warfield Theater

Hot outro resolves into a brief contemplative space before yielding to Drums.

Queen Jane Approximately

Nassau Coliseum

Sparkling, energetic version. The first set of the Nassau run is a great one!

Its All Over Now
Oct. 20, 1978
Winterland Arena

Grooves smartly with excellent contributions from each member. The whole first set is hot and worth a listen.

Jerry and Donna sound great in this uptempo version. Jerry's solo smokes too, of course.

The Spectrum

Sweet bluesy outro jam. Spring ’78 was very good to poor Peter.

Eyes Of The World

Alexandra Palace

I can’t believe how good this thing is for each of its 31 minutes. It has everything!
Sugaree
Feb. 20, 1991
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Superb! I didn’t know they still played Sugarees like this in ’91. Jammy and uptempo. Vince sounds great on organ, and Jerry of course provides the X factor.
It Must Have Been The Roses
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

… and is beautifully sung to boot.
Jack Straw
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

It is. In my book, this is one of the best ever. In fact, I am amazed that the top of the Jack Straw chart isn’t wall to wall ’74 versions.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 16, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

I upvoted because what’s here is so well done. The Rio Grande-o singing is missed, but in its place is some really fresh, emphatic playing and a creative segue into Stranger. But yes, check out 7/12 for an equally great and more complete ’89 Half-Step.
