Pity the SQ is so flat, as this one cooks up nice and hot, with some extra melodicism in the outro jam before D>TOO. This show needs a SBD infusion.

hard to believe this big beast hasn't been tagged yet: Experimental, interesting, and at 23min, a nice long ride.

Only the 2nd one they played after it went into circulation, and it conveys all the emotion and poetry of this wonderful song. Sing something Phil!

For a song notoriously difficult to pull off live, this one is just beautiful. Succinct, harmonious, deliberate: All good, in spite of AUD quality.

Great transition into Rider here. Really strong '72 ensemble playing. Sound quality is only about a B though.

Hey there's a bit of Terrapin in here. Check out Jerry's melodic lines starting just around 06:50. Am I crazy or is there a little theme that suggests they were already working it out, and he slipped in in? So cool.

Exactly what darkstar 67 et al said here. I'd only add that Jerry solos throughout with quicksilver brilliance, note-for-note beauty. He was bursting with ideas here.

This isn't space. This is just TOO>Morning Dew. It's awesome, but calling it space is anachronistic.

One of the nicest ones I know from '76.

Even though the cleanup isn't so clear, Bobby is audible in the mix, which gives a good sense of what it could sound like if the magic soundboard ever gets found.... Apparently there isn't anything in the vault from this show.
