Unique "slow" version that caps off a monster jam out of Truckin'. Must hear material.

There is something indescribably sweet and perfect about this version...sounds like it could have been recorded for an album. I just love it.

Very laid back but sooo tasty. Jerry's lines are so supple.

Awesome version, Jerry has a cool feedback/sustain part during the solo that just gets me every time. Segues into a killer GSET.

This one is is pretty kill too, but I think I like the night before (9/7/73) better!

Absolutely love this version...very intense, with some wicked, jazzy trills from Jer. Stunning version for its first time out.

HOLY SHIT!!! Jer says "Get down!" and do they ever...one of the very best, most high energy versions I've heard, with ridiculous leads from Garcia. Be sure to listen to the NFA too! This is truly amazing, even with the tape cut.

That's Keith on the Theremin! An excellent and unique performance for sure.

Absolutely INSANE meltdown in this Dark Star. Just plain ridiculous.
