May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

Jerry's voice is crisp, his playing is sharp, and Keith does a great job with atmospheric organ fills

Rip snortin' version!

Doin' That Rag

Fillmore East

An extra handful of stank on the end jam puts this well above a "normal" version. Definitely worth checking out

Not the longest version (due to time restraints), but this one starts like it is shot out of a fucking cannon

A short, incredibly dense, and interesting piece of space

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Absolutely lovely version. Jerry's vocals are spot on and crisp.

Nassau Coliseum

This is so perfectly paced. Delicate and patient, to a chilling peak. Love instances where the boys show that they can still dial into the magic in the later years.

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Always loved this monster Fire. Such a deep cut - very heady for any era. Oregon sparked the best in the boys

Meadowlands Arena

Phil is all over this like stink on a monkey. Jerry shred drives the crowd into a frenzy. Super peaky finish. Choice!

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

The jam in this is super hot and creative. Relatively short it may be, but this packs a nice punch.
