Long crystal clear Jerry solos throughout and a great recording for '68. Gets tighter throughout the jam.

Fast, reckless, and smokin' hot. A must have for fans of '68 and all its psychedelic glory. Goes into a nice best New Potato Caboose too.

Succinct and powerful. A nice '68 set starting (!) with Dark Star and Stephen. Mellow.

Great extended spacey jam. Check out around 05:10 - 05:40 for what sounds impossibly like a FTM tease. PHIL !

Jerry's on fire in this show opener. Not my favorite song, but just a rippin' version here. Wish I could have been there....

Tighter and stronger than a lot of the gnarly 15+ minute versions out there: This is a solid sweet rocker with a swinging pulse and just enough swagger.

This and the two versions right before are just top shelf. Seems like they'd hit a stride on He's Gone and enjoyed working it up to a higher level. The concentrated greatness reminds me somehow of Wharf Rat in the summer of '74 (if you don't know, then do please go and check that out...), or Dancing in the Streets in Fall '76.

A funny mix, but it does allow you to hear Keith's master-class in honkytonk, which was too often a bit hidden in the SBDs of this era.

May just be my favorite version. This one has it all.
The Other One

San Jose Civic Auditorium

Listen to this now. Criminally under-rated here, maybe owing to the show's bad sound for the first tracks. This is a brilliant, exploratory and melodic jam that should be much more well-known. The AUD patch does not detract from the overall power of this one.
