Deal
March 15, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

It swings to a funky swagger; Jerry is in top form here. I think it's the best Deal from the spring '73 tour!

Deal
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

It struts & swaggers in that honey, country-tinged '73 way that we've come to relish & rely on. From one of the best shows from one of the best years.

Easy Wind
May 7, 1970
DuPont Gym - MIT

A version all true heads should love, or at least hear once.

Monkey and the Engineer
Dec. 31, 1970
Winterland Arena

Jerry's sweet voice is extra sweet & clear during the chorus for this version than the ones from October, 1980.

Mason's Children
Jan. 24, 1970
Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Monster Mason's. Can't believe this one isn't here yeat. Cleanest, most coherent version. Jerry's guitar tone is pure gold.

Estimated Prophet
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

^Well said. The outro on this one is second to none! Jerry's axe wails, moans & screams with raw emotion. This one is not for the feeble minded or faint hearted.
Might As Well
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

The band is amped! My go-to version from a stellar year.
Ramble On Rose
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Powerhouse version! A kindred sibling to 7/8/78.
The Music Never Stopped
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Gotta love the call and response banter between Bobby & Donna. The band was having fun tonight, and it's obvious from this version - and the show as a whole - that they came to play!
Eyes Of The World
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

One of the best Estimated->Eyes pairings out there. It seems to get better with each listen. This is among the top shelf shows of '78, and this Betty Board is extra crispy.
