Mindblowing jams reminiscent of the massive '72s. Check out Jer and Phil interplay around 10:00.

Third time performed and still a bit loose in the joints, but tighter and funkier than Dane County 2 days earlier.

Mellow in places, shredding in others, goes in and out of off-the-rails trippyness but doesn't meltdown. Why isn't this one already here?

Brilliant, lightning-speed Jerry soloing behind Bobby. Worth many a listen in a great great show.

Fun and enthusiastic, if not just a little loose in the joints. Good energy and a great show all around.

Midnight Hour

Remarkable for its low key simmering rap from Pigpen that leads almost accidentally into the second half of a Love Light. Spontaneous and kind of a "how the hell did that happen" moment. Love to Ken and Judy, for sure. Thank you.

They rushed through the St. Stephen to get into this heady jam with its raucous smoldering quality.

I agree with Glynparson about FOTD, I always preferred this song as an uptempo acoustic rather than as a slow electric. It brings out the desperado nature somewhat, one might say.

Katie Mae is always special, but this one has something extra, and the AUD gives us the whole story. East coast crowd or not, this crowd sounds like a room full of outlaw bikers, ready to stomp the stage between every song. Then Pigpen steps up, you can hear the hush come over as he pulls everyone into an almost reverential silence. What a gem. Thanks, tapers, you done real good on this one. What power....

Feels like it could have gone on for an hour without getting boring. Real pity to lose out the final parts. Exceptional jamming indeed. Good catch.
