Another great tune from the legendary Harpur College show. Includes a really great tighten up jam.

Morning Dew
Beautiful, just beautiful...I guess most of them are...wait for the note at the peak...

Deep Elem Blues
Jerry's voice just exactly bluesy perfect...groovy & slow acoustic cadence & the boys harmonizing sweetly on the chrouses. Outstanding early version

Black Peter
How is this not here? Came to vote for it, because I was sure it had to be at the top, and it wasn't here at all. Wow. Acoustic and gut wrenching .

Cryptical Envelopment
The Cryptical Reprise is a beast, this whole show could be nominated, Dick’s Picks Vol. 8, listen again and vote.

Cold Jordan
Can believe this one isn't already here! A beautiful version from one of the top five shows ever played.

Beat it on Down The Line
Great acoustic version, when the song was still fresh and you can hear the Binghamton crowd react when Bob starts singing

Cold Rain and Snow
Out of tune and a bit of mess, but it's time this tune joins the list on the 50th anniversary of a masterpiece of a night!

Drums
All drums this night roll through sacred and sublime! Explodes into O1, later thunders into amazing Good Lovin' & for this, deserves to be here!

Me and My Uncle
Maybe b/c it's w/New Riders but one of the best acosutic versions ever should be here! Riders w/great backing vox + Jerry on pedal steel!
