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

Very fine version, but try 9/18/74 for a best-of-the-year contender.

Stanley Theater

Sort of a sloppy version, but they more than make up for it with an insanely ferocious jam with multiple Jerry peaks. Overall, this is one of the best I've heard.
