Warfield Theater

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

Nassau Coliseum

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

Its All Over Now

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.

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

Ramble On Rose
April 29, 1984
Nassau Coliseum

This might be the highlight of the first set, but it's a really well-played set all around. Try the chasingwilma recording for set I (there's a SBD for set II).
Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

The technical glitch I can overlook, but Bobby’s noticeably out of tune in stretches of the jam. I can’t upvote, but I can recommend you hear this at least once to appreciate the good aspects, which are significant.
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Fast, nimble, with lots of heart -- basically perfect. It's a great first set overall!
Drums -> Space
Sept. 16, 1990
Madison Square Garden

This is stupendous and makes me want to revisit all the MSG ’90 Drums>Spaces. Don’t overlook this the next time you hit play on this classic set.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

I actually found the last few minutes the most impressive. Jerry switches his guitar tone and the whole jam immediately takes on new colors and textures. Great version.
