Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

This one's awesome! Prefer it to 5/9, Jerry is on here as he was all night
Wharf Rat

Edmundson Pavilion

yeah wow this can definitely be classified as a "musical triumph". And like the above said, the most Bird Songy a Wharf Rat could get. Tremendous version, the outro is just so good you need to listen
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

Best part is right before this starts you can distinctly hear someone yell out "Dark Star!" Deadheads are always craving more, and like you said, great and energetic US Blues here!
