Stunningly beautiful version. Jerry's solo is second to none.

Wow, this version pretty much has it all; aggression, melody, and weirdness galore. Phil and Jerry are just huge here.

Garica is amped! Some intense jamming before the 1st verse even. Great AUD for '69 too.

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.
