Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

An explosive reading of the tune. Maybe Billy had an inkling beforehand and just wanted to be sure ya'll knew it was still a cowboy number.

A very nice 'lush' version nominated in the ongoing attempt to evaluate all of Dick's picks.

Proud and upstanding part of a great sequence. Phil is at the top of his game in one of his greatest of bass-playing years.

County Coliseum

This is most notable, I'd say, for the absolutely nuclear bomb that Phil drops during the 'Space' portion. Play it loud on a big rig!

Just heard this for the first time and I want to go back for more! Out of curiosity, how is the sound on the official release?

Liked this one as soon as I saw it, Phil just crushes it at the end.

Never sounds the same twice.
Playin' In The Band

Winterland Arena

Love that little jam of 'The Wheel' in this one.
Feel Like A Stranger

Charlotte Coliseum

I could easily see this being up there in the double-digits with the voting. The jam goes into fast Playin'-type territory.
