Why not here yet? This show has it all, and this Eleven just slays it. Balls out, high-energy jams from everyone.

Like the night before, this just blazes with crackling electric fire. Great mix and channel separation with Bobby nice and clear helps. Overlooked.

Crisp recording with nicely mixed Bobby on separate channel = rare treat in this tight Stephen. Great show.

A cappella finish after someone apparently kicked out their instrument amps right at the end. Good old Grateful Dead just said "F. it, let's keep singing". Love it.

Real blues. Pigpen was on this night and the show belongs to him.

Hollywood Bowl
Thanks MerryJerry Wacked: You're right. This is an exploratory, muscular and gorgeous version. Seems they were putting a lot of energy in this song all tour. Brother Bertrando left us a great AUD not to be missed.
Playin' In The Band

Hollywood Bowl
An absolutely smoking, brilliant Playin'. A wild ride full of the wheels within wheels of groupmind. Sounds like they could have been headed into a MLB jam before they arrived at Wharf Rat. And the reprise kicks serious ass.

May - June '74 Wharf Rats just slay me. This one is so beautiful. My god, is it beautiful.
