Jerry's 2nd solo might just be the hottest BR solo ever! Hope they had a fire extinguisher on stage!!

Dark Star

Utica Memorial Auditorium

This night I think gets overlooked also because of poor SQ due to tape damage. If there were better tapes of the 2nd set especially, I think it would be more well regarded.
The Music Never Stopped

Goddamn what a set closer!!!
St. Stephen

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Probably the best post-hiatus version. That jam is so utterly unique, and the melodies just pour out of Jerry's guitar like water...incredible.
St. Stephen

The Ark

Absolutely classic...one of only two St.Steve>It's a Sin>St. Steve!
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

Dick's Picks 28 has the (nearly) complete show including Eyes. This is one of my favorite shows of '73.
