Brilliant vocals. Jerry stretches it out. Funky, sexed up version.

Civic Arena

Less reggae than the Spring '73 versions, this one is fully rockin'. Jer's on, both with vocals and solos.

A must-hear. Goes through four or five melodic/rhythmic innovations, odd time sigs and a MLBesque jam outro. Avoid Lai's version with a nasty cut.

Stunning w/ great Phil solo into TOO. A 2nd set from heaven: LIG>He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Wharf Rat. Don't be put off by 1st set flubs, listen to this!

Subtle, simmering, with slow, steady intensity. To my ears this show has mix issues and needs re-work - but definitely worth it.

Beautiful and unforgetable Jerry solo jam transition into a killer Wharf Rat sandwich.
The Same Thing

Winterland Arena

Deep and dark Blues roots Dead with a tight and hot jam. All the reasons to listen to '67 are right here.

You can get genuinely lost in this jam. Seems infinite while you're in it. As Proud Walker Justin put it, a fine bit of acid rock, indeed.

Opens up in whole new directions suggesting what might have been had Pigpen stayed with us into the next era. A real gem.
