Bobby and Keith have a really brilliant exchange in the background here. Great version.

In a show overshadowed by its neighbors, this one stands out for coming together just brilliantly. Show needs more love.

Blisteringly hot group solo from about 4:25 onward, including a Phil episode of pure beautiful berserkness.

Great funk just right in that sweet, rockin' spot. Pig's voice is on, Jerry's on fire, and Keith sounds great.

Tremendous energy and a beautiful jam with a long China Cat jam in the first bit. What the Dead are all about.

The jam AFTER the outro just so mysterious and beautiful.

Total Bird Song. This show does drag in a few places during in the first set, perhaps due to being in the studio for the month prior, or new equipment. But by Bird Song, they were absolutely flying and it shows throughout the rest of the show. Just what I search for in this song.

Takes its time. And every sweet minute builds and builds. One gets the impression that Jerry chose the set list on his birthday as a big present to all of us....

Monumentally massive 2nd set - with a great Dark Star before it. This is an experimental yet tight version. Around 14:00 it really takes off into new territory. A beauty.
Dark Star

Roosevelt Stadium

The real deal: Dark Star as endless source. It tickles your ears then floats you senseless, then moves into the farther corners of the cosmos. It stretches, it bends, it melts, it gets scary. Listen to it again and again and again, there's always something new in it....
