Palais Des Sports

Really dark sounding jam dominated by Phil and Jerry. Some unique, jazzy soloing from Jerry too.

Fast, tight and energetic with really inventive Jerry jams in the trasition. One of the best of '73

Philadelphia Civic Center

Wild, hairy, and at times scary Herbie Hancock-esque jazz in this one. One of the all-time best!!!

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

I revisited this one recently, and I should add that Garcia plays some of the most viciously fluid runs I've ever heard on this song. Should be ranked higher, it's an A+ version for sure.

Been a favorite ever since I first heard Dick's Picks, vol. 11

Providence Civic Center

Agreed on all points. A unique, almost minimalistic version but so perfect at the same time. Also major points for filling the rare encore slot.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl

Unique version, but the sound of this AUD is what really blows me away...one of the best this side of 8/6/71.
