They Love Each Other
Oct. 2, 1976
Riverfront Arena

Groovy, and some REAL nice solos by both Jerry and Keith. This one's got a little edge to it too.

The Sportatorium

'78 was a good year for this song. Lyrical slip-ups aside, the soloing and jaunty pace of this one make it a gem of the first set.

Downs of Santa Fe

One of a hundred high-energy versions of the early 80's, but hot nonetheless. Part of a thunderous Bobby-centric second set.

Good Lovin'

Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Part of a one-two-punch opener, paired with a heater of a Bertha. Keith adds great texture to Jerry's solo.

Jerry's got that wah going the whole song. Some may not like it, but I LOVE the psychedelic edge it brings to this version.

Amazing piano work by Keith - a stellar version of this tune.
Comes A Time
Dec. 10, 1971
Fox Theatre

A PERFECT early version, and a cornerstone of the new St. Louis box.
The Other One
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

A FEROCIOUS version - this should have WAY more votes.
The Same Thing

Buckeye Lake Music Center

Vince's organ is really what makes this one for me. Great playing by him!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

INCREDIBLE! This one is the cream of the crop and easily the best late-era version.
