Box of Rain
Feb. 22, 1973
Assembly Hall, University of Illinois

Its true, nothing beats the American Beauty version but this is a strong live rendition,Phils vocals can be a bit wooden but id put this among the stronger versions..Donna adds to this one.
Stella Blue
May 16, 1981
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Superior quality AUD recording makes this version a great listen- I prefer good sounding AUDs or a matrix better still,gives you that being there feeling,but yeah Jerry really rips a great solo to end this stellar Stella Blue..

Ive always liked this easy going,mellow yet spacey journey- great to drift off to with a nice smoke.

Great way to start a show..Thats what im talkin about- Jerrys on fire.
Ship of Fools

P.N.E. Coliseum

Phils bass really comes through on this version/mix ..Jerrys vocals are top notch and he plays a nice solo..It isnt my favourite song either but its a solid version nonetheless.
