Heavy NFA jam including a stunning Big You Goodnight theme. One of the best.

Holy Moley!!! WHITE hot Truckin' peak, into a seriously funky powerhouse space jam, and then landing on a wild Other One jam

Simply stunning standalone version, possibly the most emotive outro jam ever

Selland Arena

Possibly the most gorgeously jammed version ever. Guaranteed Jerry's long, dreamy outtro will wisk you away on cloud 9

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!
