Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

Yeah... right there with 7/17/89 and 10/16/89. Transition into Terrapin is spot on.
Playin' In The Band

Knickerbocker Arena

There were some great Playin'>UJB combos in 89. The combo this evening is just as good at this magical show.

Classic 1971 ripping version.

I came to comment on this version. Lol... killer version. Maybe the finest.
Close Encounters Jam

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

I don't hear CE theme for 1 second. Eugene has the riff played twice. The best theme is from the 12/29/77 tuning before Bertha.
