Playin' In The Band
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

You Win Again
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

Moseying version. Jerry lays down buttery licks and Keith rides some nice fills. Zippidy doo dah tuning jam to follow

Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

The Music Never Stopped
Sept. 25, 1991
Boston Garden

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Freight train of energy

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Money version, they execute the pair with deadly precision
Hard to Handle
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Spun again after a very long time. Jam just never loses it's luster. Full blown hose in every sense of the word. Perfection
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

Haven't listened to this in a while. I usually consider Franklin's to be an afterthought, but this one has some nice gusto. Nice version!
Sugar Magnolia

Roosevelt Stadium

Dap, this one cooks!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center
