Right around the time of my favorite version (6.30.73) and it is sublime, like everything the Dead touched in mid-73

Right on...definitely takes an adjustment, but this set pays off big time...I sprung it on a deadhead friend, and he loved it. Definitely gives the "being there" feeling, peaking with the crowd and all that...

Not sure...must have a mislabeled cd. But whichever version, it does smoke.
