Big, romping version. Get loose

Meadowlands Arena

Really smooth version, despite some significant belly aching from Bobby mid song. Solid overall though

Holy heady version! This is a religious experience. I flat out love me some '76, wow...

The Other One

Winterland Arena

This is a superb version, but even hotter with a SICK 'Got My Mojo Workin' before and a transcendent 'Stella Blue' to follow

Turn On Your Love Light

Labor Temple

This one is hot. Jerry gets an Allman brothers slide-type feel at the end of the first Lovelight. Very cool
Mountains of the Moon

The Electric Theatre

Outro jam on this is everything. Broody, melodic psychedelic soup
Brother Esau

Philadelphia Civic Center

Love Esau and this is a solid, tight, moseying version
Feel Like A Stranger

Philadelphia Civic Center

This version is sweaty... super funk jam, killer opener

Delta Center

Rare that you see a comment that just says "garbage" without any justification. This show is one of the few that I go back to from '95, so I listened to this version again with a critical ear. To me, the boys sound on. Bobby crushes the vocals, Jerry is dexterous and nimble with his leads, the band swells nicely at the peak/conclusion. Sure, it's not '72 era sound, but it's still a solid version.
