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

Morning Dew
March 27, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

I am not really a fan of this era, but this version is incredible. Patient build, beautiful execution. Such emotive playing
Uncle John's Band
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Yup, classic. My favorite (if forced to choose)
Uncle John's Band
May 21, 1982
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

I scooped this show not too long ago. This version is certainly one of the most exploratory I know of. Jam gets dicey in the later minutes - she's a deep cut.
Sugaree
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

Yeah, this one definitely deserves dap. Haven't spun in a minute - holds up fantastically!
Greatest Story Ever Told
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

Yup, another hot version for a hot show
