EPIC 14 min. Caution goes on and on, Jerry is by far the most intense I've ever heard him on this song!

Typically great '69 Star, and then some. Gets way outside the usual movements even before the verse. Middle jams are very trippy and emotional.

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.

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