Another classic SJ in a classic '68 show...

Capitol Center

A bit overlooked for summer '74, this version is one of the very best. Jerry's cool tone has a lot of bite!

Classic SJ out of a great wandering Dark Star...Jerry and Phil dueling it out hard!

First ever SJ, and possibly my new favorite! This incredible jam just keeps building and does not let up once for the entire 16 minutes!

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!
