Epic 11:09 Version. IMO one of Pigpen's best efforts of any song, Starts off slow and haunting building into a monster jam!

A real gem from one of the more underrated shows of May 77. This whole show is simply amazing!

Massive show opener, get the new years party started right!!
Uncle John's Band

Madison Square Garden

Craziest version I've heard indeed. Garcia takes you into outer space at the 6:40 mark and never looks back!. Outstanding selection, thanks for the heads up!!
Eyes Of The World

Kezar Stadium

Possibly my favorite show of 73'. Nice pick!

This is one of the best audience recordings you will ever hear. Put on the headphones and let Jerry take you to a very special place. If this does not typify what Jerry Garcia represents I don't know what does. The greatest musician to live, yes indeed!!!
