Fallout from the Phil Zone. Unique, one of the finest early versions.

HUGE early Dancin', possibly the best ever--they are just totally dialed into one another like fingers of a hand!

Wow, this is superb. Jerry is brutal and sharp as a tack during the intro jam! After that things get more introspective but quite beautiful...

One of the heaviest crescendos ever; the peaks are just unbelievable!

This night I think gets overlooked also because of poor SQ due to tape damage. If there were better tapes of the 2nd set especially, I think it would be more well regarded.

Goddamn what a set closer!!!

Probably the best post-hiatus version. That jam is so utterly unique, and the melodies just pour out of Jerry's guitar like water...incredible.

The Ark

Absolutely classic...one of only two St.Steve>It's a Sin>St. Steve!

Dick's Picks 28 has the (nearly) complete show including Eyes. This is one of my favorite shows of '73.
