Or maybe the 12th. Who cares. It's simply beautiful.

Totally free. There are Mountain Jam themes, met with Stephen Jams, then Bid You Goodnight themes. Seems they couldn't get enough. Good stuff.

The single best transition into Cosmic Charlie (from TOO) that I know of. From an era when they still meant it as a psychedelic anthem... Love this.

Forgotten show with a high-voltage and energetic jam, intersected with a sweet Attics. Great show, low quality AUD.

Good Lovin'
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

A slow simmering exploration. The whole first set seems set on "medium", like they were warming up slow in order to go long or something. It doesn't drag, but it doesn't really sizzle either.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Dillon Stadium

Damn right. This just bursts out of the gate with its skullfuckin' grin, tips its hat and sez: "stick around folks". A brilliant first-timer for this classic. Pity about the cut in the outro, though.
Stella Blue

Hollywood Bowl

Everything said here is true. This is a beautiful artifact.
The Other One

Will cause brain blisters if not careful. This isn't going to convince any GD doubters out there, but daaaahm does it go off into schizoid madness at one point.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Tape speed differences on the Archive: I think the Wagner/Minches one probably the most accurate, but the Knight, et al. version has clearer sound. In any case, this is an electrifying and sparkling kick-in-the-pants version worth several repeats.
