Surprised this ones not already here, as this show is a gem. Alaska on the longest day of the year, and a beautiful way to send the fans into the lite

Tenn Jed #2 for Nashville in '78, first being 4/22. Which is better? You decide. This one is hard to top tho.

I've posted my share of '76ers here, yet somehow not this one, a go-to version for me. Amazing vid on YT, also. Super Phil-heavy

I think I mixed up the dates. 8/6/74 and 8/4/76 are both beyond epic, but I think my description on 8/6 version is more apt for THIS version. So laid back, yet non-stop hard-hitting exhilaration. Only the Dead...

Worthy. Slow, sinister grooving' intro, Phil means business. This show might be the filthiest funkiest grungiest groovinest show from top-to-bottom the boys (and girl) ever did

Truly fun. I tried explaining the irony of the Stayin' Alive tease to my Russian roommate, to no avail. The teases throughout really are spectacularly fun. No better word. This show is pretty unbelievable, by the way. A romp, indeed.
