The "on the road" sweaty dust of the west is oh so perfectly expressed on this take - '71 perfection.

The Wheel
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Some of Jer's most soulful playing on this version - check the space/extended intro - not Indy but still interesting - then he gets after it during the tune proper.
Cold Rain and Snow
June 7, 1969
Fillmore West

Very different take - they clearly decided to try out a different approach this night - cool.
Not Fade Away
March 23, 1972
Academy of Music

This NFA is hi energy jamcity > hi-octane GDTRFB > NFA reprise that is all Bobby and Pig hootin, hollerin and screaming their balls off. 3 mins of intensity is right on.

Uncle John's Band

Like this one and that hollowed out sound Jer's got going - they close with an OMSN that's is pretty crazoid too at this show.
