Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 25, 1983
St. Paul Civic Center

Starts cooking with Supplication, slowly increasing the frenetic space jazz. They nail the landing on the verse and the closing jam is hot

Great jam

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Great Estimated that packs a solid bridge jam and a long, trippy outro into He’s Gone

This is a good one. Jerry sounds good, the band is tight and the solo is fantastic

Silva Hall at the Hult Center

Lyrically foggy but played with intensity and clarity. Dreamy guitars and powerful synth swells mixed with 84 darkness and haze. very cool.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
April 6, 1978
Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Incredibly high energy throughout with maybe the single best transition into the Supplication jam (not the verse) I've heard yet. They really nail this one.
He's Gone
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

My go-to version. Practically flawless, effortlessly gorgeous and the outro jam into The Other One is sublime. A+

Roosevelt Stadium

I've come back to this version many times and it never disappoints. Crazy underrated, probably bc this show is AUD only. The crescendo of the final solo is phenomenal!
Black Throated Wind
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

Very, very good
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

Total powerhouse, certainly one of the best versions out there.
