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!

Yeah, idk how this one wasn't here yet! Such a legendary show.

No doubt a legendary version, but IMO 5/22/77 smokes this one. No contest.

Absolutely! I agree this one has it all over 5/8/77.

Excellent flowing and moody version with a great Garcia lead space transition into Stella B.

Very good version, but I like the ones from May '77 a bit better. The 2nd instrumental break is really interesting though, with Keith and Jerry getting into a sweet little duel of sorts.
