THE BEST, and I mean best. 14 mintues of raw emotion from Jerry, you'll be crying by the end!

Uber TIGHT. Under the radar too, spin this one for sure if you haven't you won't regret it!

Dark Star

Utica Memorial Auditorium

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!!!
St. Stephen

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

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.
St. Stephen
April 23, 1969
The Ark

Absolutely classic...one of only two St.Steve>It's a Sin>St. Steve!
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

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