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

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.

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.

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Inspired.
The Other One
May 12, 1981
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

High octane here.. My only quibble is that Bobby is a little to eager to come in on the verses, cutting off what could have been longer and hotter jamming. Even worse, he botches the lyrics. But no matter, the boys are tight and locked-in here, and this version still crackles with energy.

Sweet.

Worthy.
Althea

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

For me, 1981 is the all-around best year for Althea, and this one does not disappoint!
