William and Mary College Hall

Surprised this isn't listed yet. This version is by far the best with the horns, with Jerry and Martin really getting into it with some fiery leads!

Cryptical Envelopment
June 5, 1969
Fillmore West

Monster reprise, one of the longest and best ever.

Scarlet Begonias

Roosevelt Stadium

Unusual and fiery version making up the meat of an otherworldly Playin' sandwich.

Fillmore West

Without question, the best Crypt reprise ever performed. This one reaches the limits of space and time.

Scarlet Begonias

Cow Palace

First ever Scarlet Begonias. Very unusual sound with a very tentative, bluesy feel, but it's still a keeper and worth hearing for the novelty at least

Wicked version, just as good as the night before!!
Estimated Prophet

Bobby proclaims that he is moving to Australia, and the band proceeds to bring the house (err, amphitheater) down! Possibly the finest Estimated these ears have ever heard.
