Mama Tried
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the other punchy, galloping ’77s.

Jack Straw
Sept. 9, 1974
Alexandra Palace

If you’re like me, you love the intensity of these ’74 Jack Straws. This one is not to be missed.

Bertha
Sept. 9, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Swinging funk akin to a ’73 TLEO. Different and sharply played.

Franklin's Tower
Aug. 19, 1980
Uptown Theatre

Jerry’s playing with amazing ease and fluidity. One shimmering melody after another.

Me and Bobby McGee
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Played fast, sounding almost triumphant. Very cleanly played with some attention-grabbing Jerry.

Me and My Uncle
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Folks... this is quite a Me & My Uncle.
Caution
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

Holy fuck! This is nuts! Absolutely raging '68 firestorm of a Caution.
Turn On Your Love Light
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

Not better than the best of '69-'71, but this one sure shreds in places.
Turn On Your Love Light
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Vastly more interesting than the majority of latter-day Lovelights.
High Time
March 28, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

As clean and polished a version as I've heard, from any era.
