RFK Stadium

Controlled yet passionate. Almost Mozartean.

Fillmore West

Spacey and relaxed, but maintains a gentle simmer throughout.

Me and Bobby McGee

Strand Lyceum

Crisp and sweet as always, but it's Jerry's fills that really make this version.

Truckin'

Strand Lyceum

*Yet another* stellar Truckin' from Europe '72. It would be unconscionable not to acknowledge its greatness here.

Strand Lyceum

Very sweetly played and sung. Could easily have been the version picked for "Europe '72."

Coliseum Arena

Do not overlook this version. Equals or surpasses the other versions from '89-'91. Incredible molten jam.
Looks Like Rain

Boston Music Hall

I couldn't believe how good this version is. Can sometimes take or leave the song, but this is INCREDIBLE.
Playin' In The Band

Lille Fairgrounds

Tight, melodic, lovely. This one really grabbed my attention.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

No kidding! Thunderous, yet melodic. Try it -- you'll like it.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Good version, but I believe it's played electric.
