Estimated Prophet

Winterland Arena

Filter attack on the bridge, contrasts well with the burst-into-flames version from the night before

Bird Song
Nov. 13, 1987
Long Beach Arena

Clean and exploratory, with active Brent, yet not as telepathic as others

Long Beach Arena

Quite enthusiastic/ recording is crip --- test me, test me... BOOM!

New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 6, 1978
Swing Auditorium

Elastic and lilting drive – perfect for those somersaulting leads out of the halfpipe

Knickerbocker Arena

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 30, 1973
Rochester Community War Memorial

This version of the pairing is genius. Totally overlooked is right. A pathetic assemblage of votes so far.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 31, 1971
Yale Bowl, Yale University

So many great ones – and differences among eras. Still, a paltry three votes? Aggressive/ Phil running the lane here. Boot it up the list.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Market Square Arena

The Miller is killer; the rest might be filler. But if they concoct an Indy box and distribute a clean recording of the whole 10/27/73, I'd register. (9/22)
Sugar Magnolia

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Oh my god, yes.
Truckin'

Phil is gargantuan on this apex.
