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.

Love it! Speedy with a good dose of fusion jamming. Keith sounds really cool on these early summer '73 shows.

Agreed! Such a special moment from the early era that I love so!

Amazing Dark Star!!! The jams in and around Phil's "unidentified 6/8 jam", especially Garcia's playing, are simply extraordinary. Lesh repeats this theme in a lot of '73 Stars and Other Ones, but this one is the very best IMO, and the song as a whole is perhaps the best unsung version of the '73-'74 period. More heads should know about this one!

Indeed, the 'Stronger than Dirt' especially cooks!
