The previous night's version was tasty, but this one is delicious. The nomination for this one is long overdue. The whole show is quintessential '76

Opens the first electric set from the last (and best) show from the 8 night run at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Its nomination is long overdue!

Alert! This one not a throw-away. The best one of '74, no foolin'. Played with a perfect balance of gusto, gumption & grit.

I can hardly say enough about Jerry's vocals on this night. Just sweet and soulful. And his gentle solos on this one will rock you to and fro.

Caps the night off in fine fashion. My favorite version from '73 for sure.

This version is unique in that the minor key jam -"the coda" - is particularly long and exploratory. While not as tight and intense as others from the year (9/7, 10/29 & 11/11 come to mind), the charm of this one lies in the more mellow, loose and playful character.

This show encapsulates that mellow, jazz tinged psychedelic country-rock sound of 1973 that we've come to know and love. The ballads were particularly good on this night. A great one to spin on a dog day afternoon...

Jerry's voice, to my ears, was particularly sweet and soulful on this night, and this version just fits the bill. Get the Matrix source!
