This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

The Wheel

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

I don't really separate these two nights. This Wheel is a highlight either way. Part of a big cosmic stretch out. Lovely.
Eyes Of The World
March 30, 1973
Rochester Community War Memorial

The intro alone is worth the visit - Godchaux going all Debussy on us. The breaks are mellowwww in the nicest way.
Dark Star
April 28, 1971
Fillmore East

Sometimes this is my favorite version of this group. Spacious but some interesting, gothic TC flavorings. A really interesting time - they were developing and changing so rapidly. There is much to love here.

Hartford Civic Center

Beautiful entry by Weir. They were really playing this song as a narrative by now. Top notch.
