One of the best stand-alone versions IMO, this one gets quite extended for such an early version, with a jam that flows and peaks.

Providence Civic Center

Ok so it's no 6/28/74, but this one holds its own. Real nice playing that gets pretty deep into that freaky-jazzy stuff they do oh so well

Absolutely gorgeous version, one of the best of the period.

Excellent version. Garcia's playing is sharp and jazzy, and Phil is laying into it with some nice bombs. Smooth segue into a great Other One jam

Jazzy Other One with a really nice segue out of Spanish jam.

They're a little rusty here, but it hardly matters. One of the best for sure!

Slays. Not as hard as 4-24-78, but still gets really exciting.
