Me and My Uncle

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!

Paramount Northwest Theater

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

Listening to this, I get such strong "Black Muddy River" vibes. Must be that lazy Rio Grandio!

Arrowhead Stadium

They're positively galloping along with this one.

Arrowhead Stadium

This one feels like you're floating along a river, and the current picks up to the point that your vessel is teetering on the verge of spinning out of control....You've accidentally dropped the oars and you're at the mercy of the flowing waters....
Estimated Prophet
April 25, 1977
Capitol Theater

I feel like this is the version that birthed Edie Brickell & New Bohemians' "What I Am" (though I'm sure that could be said for so very many versions of Estimated, but it really shines through here)
Big River
Aug. 13, 1975
Great American Music Hall

Frenetic, breathless...
