Palais Des Sports

Really dark sounding jam dominated by Phil and Jerry. Some unique, jazzy soloing from Jerry too.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Wild, hairy, and at times scary Herbie Hancock-esque jazz in this one. One of the all-time best!!!

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.
