The tape quality is low, but the band was completely on in an historically important and beautiful show. Completists only AUD is C-, you're warned.

Undoubtedly one of the greats. Everyone is on. Bobby solos, then Jerry schools the world, then at 7:03 sounds like D. Crosby steps in like Godzilla.

Early uptempo, shitkickingly good. These first ones are all worth mentioning. This one is fast and good bluegrass.

Fast and furious acid rush here. That they could go from bluegrass sweetness to this hard rock monster in one night is testament to their huge range.

Pure version, with just the right amount of menace and swagger. A great jam here too. Check it out.

The pace, throb, and intensity alone puts this in a special category. Add the rocking fills that Jer puts behind the driving (truck in') rhythm, the tires whapping pavement sense, and that killerdiller solo mentioned above and hell yeah, this is world class stuff. Ignore at your own peril.

Hey Okozmic! Welcome to the site, but really? '74? No Help-Slip-Frank? No Estimated Prophet? No Cassidy or The Wheel? I'm as curmudgeonly an old '70s head as they make 'em, but even I've been known to enjoy a Shakedown Street or a - gasp! - Terrapin Station now and again.... Cheers!

Wow. In addition to the subtle and heartfelt interpretation of the lyrics, which I've always felt were some of Dylan's best, Jerry rips a killer solo toward the end (07:54). Great great show.

Garage band extraordinaire. Good old rock and roll.

Listen and just try not singing along.
