Hey Now! Played on Mardi Gras day with 10 minute drum percussion lead-in to start the 2nd set! You'll like what the Big Chief say.

Not Space, but since there's no category for "jam" this beautiful calypso improv out of WomenRsmarter will have to do (also has an "Eyes" tease)

From the show always overshadowed by the next night, which is a shame. Fantastic Jerry/Brent conversation mid-jam. Give a listen!

Liquid

3 versions on archive. Grab the SBD seeded by Brian Cole. Listen to the insane end jam. Listen to the whole thing. This is an A+++ version!

^^^^ I am not, but will check it out right now! edit: Irony! I was actually at this show, and yes, this is a fine Althea, but I also realize why I wasn't immediately familiar with it, & that's b/c I/m a SBD snob and none of the available AUDs are very good, which is not to say anyone should ignore this version, especially if you're more tolerant of AUD sound than I am. The version DarkStar listed here is probably the best one and once you get used to the sound, it's worth settling in to listen, b/c Jerry really grooves on this, and Bobby especially is great in driving the rhythm and punctuating with hard edges when needed. Drummers are locked in, too. Just wish there was a better source, dammit. (Nice Iko from this show too, btw), but Althea is definitely the highlight. End jam is a no holds barred shred fest...no "build up" to the finish, just charge out of the gate ripping stuff, and Billy and Mickey go to town.

This version is from whatbjust may be the best AUD recording of all time (the Glassberg,just to be clear). The version itself is very very good, but I'll play devils advocate and grumble a bit about its placement at the top. I think there are other versions from this same year that are better, especially the end jam 5/1/81 comes to mind) and I also think there are deeper jammed out versions from 1980 and more overall colorful ones from shows in the late 80s, early 90s, so I do wonder if this one gets a lot of extra love due to the recording itself. All that negativity said, this does deserve top 5 status and there is a moment in the end jam where Garcia runs a tiny lick that shifts the drummers and everyone else into another gear and it's brilliant. So a little nitpicking here, but only for the top dog designation. I do get overall tho why it's so highly regarded.

Vital part of the incredible 2nd set.

A perfect, compact, not-a-note wasted ripping version. Keith and Jerry both tear it up, while Bob, Phil and Mickey keep the rhythm charging along. Pull out the DP version or archive-listen, but either way give this one so more well deserved love.

Nicely jammed '74 that stands out mostly because it segues into One More Saturday Night.
