Roosevelt Stadium

The wonderful slow super stoney jam reminds me of that Miami '74 Jam > Ship of Fools

Somebody wasn't ready at the beginning, but things turn out alright.

Of all the things I've found here, this is the one I'm proudest to have found.

Dark Star
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Any chance you could scan/share this with a brother? You've completely sold me on this show and it's one of my new favorites, I'd love to see his walkthrough.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

One of the things that sets this version ahead of some of the other stellar May S>Fs is how absolutely dialed in Jerry's tone is. Listen to it bounce off the hall throughout the Fire.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

For me, this is when the whole show locks in. It's all legitimately good after this, and great in parts, but I really hear the band locking in beginning here.
Beat it on Down The Line
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

If you need a soundtrack for Derby today, spin this!
Childhood's End
Aug. 1, 1994
The Palace

Haha fair enough. I guess I can't really talk, since I never experienced it live. I just wanted to give Phil the benefit of the doubt (let's face it, Jerry's vocals aren't stellar from this period either). Boogie on friend!
