Kiel Auditorium

Sandwiched between a dreamy Dark Star. Not the definitive version perhaps, but it belongs in the discussion.

Can believe this one isn't already here! A beautiful version from one of the top five shows ever played.

Near flawless version from a near flawless tour. The whole band is locked in on the home stretch here, and keith is hammerin' away on those ivories..

Tight, inspired, rockin'. Best of the Euro '72 run. Give it some love, folks!

One knows from Jerry's opening vocals "cost a lot to win" sung with extra twang, that it's gonna be rockin' with that good county, funky vibe.

^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.

The band is amped! My go-to version from a stellar year.
Ramble On Rose

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Powerhouse version! A kindred sibling to 7/8/78.

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!

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.
