EPIC 14 min. Caution goes on and on, Jerry is by far the most intense I've ever heard him on this song!

Typically great '69 Star, and then some. Gets way outside the usual movements even before the verse. Middle jams are very trippy and emotional.

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

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

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.
