Nassau Coliseum

A charged version that starts off a triple-thread run for this massive second set.

This deserves to be on the map!

It swings to a funky swagger; Jerry is in top form here. I think it's the best Deal from the spring '73 tour!

It struts & swaggers in that honey, country-tinged '73 way that we've come to relish & rely on. From one of the best shows from one of the best years.

A version all true heads should love, or at least hear once.

Best of '77, to be sure.

Not to pee on everyone's parade, but I think this version--while hot--is a bit overrated. I recommend 4/6/82, 7/5/81, & 12/31/81 as top three. Listen, then reconsider.

Top three for me. It seems Jerry's got something to prove on this version, and the boys back him up hook, line, and sinker! Check this one out.

Yup, a great version. The first live version I ever heard while at boarding school. Very underrated. Extra slow & funky, a bit understated, but kinda the charm of this one. Perhaps not as much In-Your-Face energy as others, but this one is rewarding nonetheless. This version should should not be under the radar!
