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.

Here Comes Sunshine

Grand Prix Racecourse

Some blazin’ funky jamming here that sounds like something Pig would have rapped over a couple years earlier.
Here Comes Sunshine

McNichols Sports Arena

(Whoops, commented on the wrong version. Damn mobile.)
He's Gone
Dec. 28, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Easy upvote for the mesmerizing post-song jam, which at times sounds plucked from an extended Truckin’ > Other One transition circa ’72.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Madison Square Garden

This really impressed me. I haven’t done a direct comparison with any others, but I can’t remember liking a post-Brent version more than this.
Not Fade Away
Sept. 14, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Jerry develops — and repeats — an incredible theme in the last few minutes. It is (forgive me if this is heresy) Anastasio-like.
