Sweetly melodic outro, well-played. I really enjoyed this Space > Other One > Stella.

Forceful and confident, with rowdy playing from Bobby and Brent in particular.

Deal

Olympiahalle

The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

The Other One
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

My favorite thing about this version is listening to Keith synthesize Jerry's brand-new Slipknot lines on the fly.
Ramble On Rose

Winterland Arena

HUGE version right here. Heavy but never lumbering. The whole band is in peak form, although I’d be remiss if I didn’t single out one PHILIP LESH.
Cumberland Blues
June 23, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton

Probably one of the latest versions to suggest the old Viola Lee Blues jams. One of the breaks really gets primal. Phenomenal.

Heckuva show opener!
Big River
Nov. 25, 1973
Feyline Field

Jerry’s soloing is some of the hottest I’ve ever heard in Big River. Keith too exceeds my already lofty expectations.
