Sweet Jerry vocals. A delicate ship setting sail into the post 1974 seas. Good harmonies from Bob and Donna. An overlooked show from an overlooked yea

One of best of 1974. Tight, Jerry inventive and confident, good soloing. Everything a Deal should be. Give it a listen.

Comes out of a MLB jam, a big fat mellow groove sets out what is one of those weeks of really good versions.

St. Stephen
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

this is the best ever. beats any of the later ones and even tops the '69 classics. Superb, especially in the context of the whole show.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

This is one of the best ever shows. I mean, really, it is. I really hope that you don't believe me. Go on, now you have to go and check it out. You may well not agree,but if you enjoy really good music, you'll be glad you went.

Attics of My Life

There's 2 Attics. The first is an acoustic version. Now my favourite. The 2nd comes in an amazing DS>Attics>DS>Sugar Magnolia>DS. WOW!
Dark Star

Capitol Theatre

surely this should be in the top all time 5. Go listen to this at once. there is a really good AUD with really clean and clear sound. Honestly, I've just downloaded the whole show. Superb acoustic 1st set as well. (see Attics of my Life). There's also a really fiery China Cat coming hard on the heels of a superb St Stephen. Man, this show is legendary all right.Here's the link https://archive.org/details/gd_nrps70-06-24.aud.pcrp5.23062.sbeok.flacf
