Very beautiful, almost sparse playing on this one. It's different than most from '74 but it works.

Short but high octane version with Billy and Jerry crushing it...the jam rises to a furious climax!

Palais Des Sports

Unusual version that starts out very quiet and minimalistic, alternating throughout from hot to cold. Jerry and Billy are really tearing it up!

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Killer Nobody's jam in which Jerry apparently breaks a string, but Keith steps up very nicely. Some subtle Other One teases towards the end of one.

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.

St. Paul Auditorium

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.
Dark Star

Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall

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