Edmundson Pavilion

'74 was a great year for the short barroom-type numbers.

One of many high-high-energy versions from '74.

From a very hot 1st set. The whole band shines.

Very strong '90s version with fluid, effusive Jerry runs.

To Lay Me Down
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Extraordinary phrasing and unfaltering execution elevates this version of a song I don't always enjoy. I loved this.
Sugaree
Sept. 6, 1980
State Fairgrounds

It's a cliche to say it... but I'm astonished this one isn't ranked higher. This is an explosive Sugaree.
They Love Each Other
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Maybe the best damn version I've ever heard.
Eyes Of The World
July 31, 1982
Manor Downs

Love the atonal Brent-led jam out of this Eyes into Drums.
The Eleven
Aug. 23, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

The E minor jam at the end is perhaps the most ferocious of such jams that I've heard.
