Dallas Memorial Auditorium

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

Jahrhunderthalle

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

Saint of Circumstance

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

Boston Garden

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

Freight train of energy

He's Gone
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

I will again implore the necessity of spinning this version. The Bobby/Jerry interplay at the end is some of the best, most unique I have heard. Leads into a top version, huge early peak Truckin'. Hard to get any better than this pairing

This is supposed to be 7-4-89. Something got supremely F'ed up...
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 21, 1991

Pretty sweet version - FOTM bleeds nicely into a Stir it Up Jam
