A little extra mustard on this one.

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Memorial Coliseum

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

The Spectrum

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

This version is utterly sublime. High energy, high impact playing from everyone, all backed by a singular focus. Top-shelf.

Music Hall

They create some musical spaces I want to live in. They may be brief, but what's there is gorgeous
St. Stephen

Boston Music Hall

Uniquely mellow with a simmering jam into a well-played Dancin'. Check out the suite.

My only problem with this one is how Jerry reels it in too quickly at some points. Otherwise, this version is gorgeous.

*Understated. But also fucking sexy.
