Dark Star> He's Gone > Wharf Rat > Truckin'. RFK 73. A great sequence at, in my opinion, the show of the year

Right between a sweet Here Comes Sunshine and an all-time Dark Star, the boys rip a quick A&A. Nice interplay between Keith and Jer

The boys do this classic justice, both Jer and Pig have some solid playing. Not as rippin' as some of Europe 72s, but it's the April 71 run!

The end of a Half-Step>Frankin's Tower>MAMU triptych, not too shabby.

Wow, this has way too few votes. One of the best sounding shows of the year and they're ripping. Rhythm devils were on for this day

Wow, truly just awesome. Whenever jer struggles a bit to get the last lyric out before a jam/solo, you can have some faith it's gonna be worth hearing. This is just magnificent. Alpine valley is awesome, but this is that little bit better. The best, in my opinion, but I'm just one head among many, have a listen and see for yourself

Seriously this whole set is amazing. The nfa > going down the road > drums > nfa sequence is astounding, a triumphant reprise to say the least. The first segment is full of wonderful interplay between Jerry and Dickey, even Bob throws down some licks. Phil bombs away and butch and Billy lay down a thick rhythm for everyone to enjoy. Honestly, what more can you ask for? The Charlie Miller soundboard is damn near perfect sounding, to boot

Absolutely amazing. Channeling Miles here, and it flows into U.S. Blues with such intensity. Bzfgt, unfortunately there aren't any Tighten Ups played after Halloween 71. Busotti, check the Dark Star from 1/2/70, around the 22:30 mark, transition into the jam is as smooth as they ever made it
