This was an isolated show and it sure sounds that way. Rock n rock and rock and roll here baby!

Rocking version from a killer tour. Check it out!

Madison Square Garden

Jerry's shaky vocals are part of this one's charm - the NYC crowd goes nuts over it. The climatic part of Few wasn't very climatic but still great Weir\Garcia interplay in jams! Solid 8.5\10

Cobo Arena

Best version of year and i love Donna but she's got nothing to do with this insane rocker.

One of my favorite versions.... Pre-Hiatus Always thought E74 was GDs best work across the Atlantic.
