BEST of the early Dark Stars? You decide. Gorgeous melodies, epic flow. A lot packed into only 10 minutes...

Not a very crisp SB, but really electric, emotional jamming from Jerry. An underappreciated version.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Most amazing Let It Grow climax I've ever heard; Jerry and Phil really going to town. Also a wild Billy-driven fusion jam into Wharf Rat.

KILLER ultra-jazzy jams from Garcia. An all around classic show.

Legendary warp-speed jazz fusion jamming. Keith sounds like Herbie Hancock at times. I also dig how they revisit the "Stronger than Dirt" theme at the very end.

Whole band is absolutely ON FIRE, one of the hottest of Fall '73.

Lots of lyrical flubs but ol' Jer makes up for it with some stunningly good playing...definitely dig
