P.N.E. Coliseum

Country rock pulsing with jazzy energy. One of the most exciting pre-hiatus versions.

Fierce yet loose. Lots of fun is being had and it's infectious.

A little extra mustard on this one.

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Bob seems to be playing off Keith more than usual, with both offering up several fresh ideas that seem to get Jerry inspired at the same time. Stellar version.

This should be number one.

There are certainly some hiccups in this version, but the sheer bliss of the jams in this version more than make up for it.

Fun in the context of the show, but this version comes with an extra order of slop sauce courtesy of Billy and Mickey. Timing feels a lil off at several points. Fine, but not upvote worthy.

I haven't heard a '77 Loser that I haven't upvoted, but this one is really smoking.
