Hollywood Bowl

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

Swings and shimmies before busting out the heavy artillery.

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!

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

Such a pure, sparkling, exuberant version. I’m in love.

Edmundson Pavilion

I’m with the yeasayers on this one. This magnificent version is perhaps my favorite of the year. It stays remarkably engaging throughout. Several of its individual jamming episodes alone would put this one high on the list, but taken together? This is the real deal.

Edmundson Pavilion

Includes some jamming in D before the transition to China Doll. Stellar version from an A-grade show.
Ramble On Rose
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

The execution here is just about pristine.
