Alligator>China Cat>Eleven>Alligator - speaks for itself. The only crime here is I wish the 2nd Alligator was way longer!

You can clearly hear the first part of this jam was used on Anthem of the Sun - it's out of this world!!

Longish jam starts off pretty loose with an early Thirteens from Phil, but tightens up nicely with some killer Jerry to bring it on home!

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.

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