Nice melodies from Jerry, hot Phil soloing, then a unique mellow and spacey segue into Wharf Rat

Tight version; jam has bounce, pizzaz, and energy spilling all over the place...these '74 Scarlets are a breed all their own!

Love it! Speedy with a good dose of fusion jamming. Keith sounds really cool on these early summer '73 shows.

Agreed! Such a special moment from the early era that I love so!

Amazing Dark Star!!! The jams in and around Phil's "unidentified 6/8 jam", especially Garcia's playing, are simply extraordinary. Lesh repeats this theme in a lot of '73 Stars and Other Ones, but this one is the very best IMO, and the song as a whole is perhaps the best unsung version of the '73-'74 period. More heads should know about this one!

Indeed, the 'Stronger than Dirt' especially cooks!
