Jerry trying to untie one of his "knots" really tears into this version.

One of my favorite versions. When they open with a Bertha like this, you know you're in for a hell of a ride.

It's sooo cliche, the "I can't believe this version isn't represented" but it truly applies here. Incendiary LIG from an amazing show.

It's a bloody shame they chopped up this show to make Road Trips vol 1. I'd love to hear this show in it's entirety.

Total epicness!

Sucks that this is a DP and nearly impossible to find a good AUD copy! Could be one of the most inspired solos Jerry ever laid down. Beautiful man, just beautiful.

Palace Theater

Great Pick! Great show. Finding a show like this on The Archive is what makes it the greatest place on the web! Long Live the Archive!
