Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Jerry slays this laid-back (yet still kickin') version. Sweet stuff here, into a strong Big River.

Just a blistering drum beat to propel this one! Good stuff!

Are there better versions out there? Undoubtedly! But this is still worthy of an entry. Some nice, tinkling piano.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

20+ minutes of sonic, rhythmic BLISS overflowing with grooves absolutely worthy of your undivided attention
Stella Blue
April 30, 1977
The Palladium

Maybe not the best (well, ok, most assuredly not *the best*), but the PASSION is indeed there. Oh, man, Jerry! I freakin' love how he delivers this song, time after time.
Not Fade Away
April 30, 1977
The Palladium

While the structure of NFA might indeed fade away, the intensity never does! And , yeah, subtle beautiful segue into Stella.
They Love Each Other
Dec. 31, 1976
Cow Palace

Such patience. Mellow and slinky. Absolute gooey goodness.
Here Comes Sunshine
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum
