Boston Garden

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

The Spectrum

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

Gorgeous soloing from Jerry and a tender vocal performance. The new mix on the Giants box really lets this one shine.

Bobby is dripping trippy chords all over the jam. SUBLIME

Surprised this has no votes. This version is played with a level of energy and precision CJ rarely ever got. Great set 2 opener.

Even the Chuck Berry songs from this show fuck.

Jerry leaves it all out on the floor on this one. Even with the flubs, this version is still one of the best ever.

I shouted woo hoo out loud while listening to this one. It's like that, y'all.
Me and My Uncle

Winterland Arena

If it weren't for the vocal flub, I'd say this is easily a top 5 performance of MAMU.

It's very obvious that Jerry is having a blast. All the extra notes and licks he throws in at every chance make this one special. Check it out.
