Definitely the best show of the year. Great tight version at this perfect show.

The epic Keysar 20 year anniversary show. This HCS does not match up to that, but probably the best version since it was busted out.

I love this under the radar show. Great playing and groove all night. This Casey is a perfect show closer.

This version is more like early 80's than 77/78, which I prefer.

Great modern day version.

This one is a beaut.
Caution
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

FYI... this show that should be in everyone's top 10 is 25% off at dead.net. It includes an amazing analysis of the 46 minute DS that is spot on and helps with understanding all the themes of the epic DS. This Caution is one of the best, also.

Fillmore West

This one is a classic from a classic show.

This DS is not for everyone. I do believe that it requires multiple listens to really respect how complex it is with its multiple themes. I can see after one listen that it may not be for everyone. It does deserve respect in GD lore, though. The first 13 minutes is pure DS theme.
