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!

Rotterdam Civic Hall

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.

The Other One

Utica Memorial Auditorium

Yeah, this segue is truly unique in majestic sound. The TOO is hauntingly beautiful. This one needs to be closer to the top.
He's Gone
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Indeed. And perhaps the most underrated show from the Europe run.
El Paso

Capitol Theater

From the last acoustic set until 1980!
New Speedway Boogie
May 1, 1970
Alfred College

Jerry never put more vocal gusto and feelin' than on this version. The whole acoustic set of this night is truly glittering, every bit as good as the much lauded next night.
Not Fade Away
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

The entire second set of this show is what dreams are made of.
