Beat it on Down The Line
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Rockin' little version, keeps this underrated show going. Jerry and Keith each have a sweet little solo...

New Speedway Boogie
April 18, 1970
Family Dog at the Great Highway

Fiery yet contained, a great acoustic version. This whole show is a gem for acoustic lovers...

Cold Rain and Snow
Dec. 17, 1970
The Matrix

Absolutely one of the best versions, top 3 for me easily. Power, crunch and a special level of jamming! This needs way more votes. (It's actually 10/4/70 as others have commented)
Candyman
Dec. 17, 1970
The Matrix

This is a really a beautiful version, all the way through. Should be higher! (Not played this date, believed to be 10/5/70)
Playin' In The Band
June 7, 1970
Fillmore West

Epic and haunting Main Ten march...
Terrapin Station
Aug. 12, 1987
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

A really powerful, and frankly excellent, version of this tune
Jack Straw
Nov. 14, 1971
Texas Christian University

This is a really smooth and underrated take!
