Hollywood Palladium

Wickedly jazzy and powerful; not as wild as 8/27, but it can hardly be faulted for that!

Assembly Hall, University of Illinois

Amazingly hot; Jerry and Keith kick things up a notch about halfway thru the jam and it never lets up!

Tight, jazzy and a little freaky too. An underappreciated highlight of a great show.

Two from the Vault. Sharp and energetic. For its time, Garcia and Lesh hit a new level on this one .

A beautiful MLB jam followed by some of the freakest DS space you'll ever hear. Careful around this one...

I favor this over 2/23/74 mainly because of Jerry's third solo - HOLY SHIT - a top 10 Jerry solo if there ever was one!

Also, the 1st since 1966!
