Keith's fills really stand out. More of an elastic bouncy version than leaden thumping one.

Jerry and Bruce tear it up. Check out the sweet matrix!

Rare and different version. Thunderous.

Played and sung like they really mean it. This one's got that "X factor."

Cold Rain and Snow

Uptown Theatre

Powerful opener! These August Uptown shows are amazing. Really digging the Stankiewicz AUD too.
Black Throated Wind
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

A new favorite version? Big crescendo at the end as the song seems to boil over with feeling. “Drowning in you” indeed.
Caution
April 16, 1972
Aarhus University

Caution and UJB weren’t played at this show.
Not Fade Away
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Blazing, but sophisticated, deep, and varied. At times a little mysterious or menacing. One of the very best I’ve heard.
Samson and Delilah
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Jerry and Phil light this one up with 16th notes. One of the more electrifying versions I’ve heard in a while.
