This is when I thought the show locked in.

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

the mystical oneness of all great jams, deep down

This one takes the plunge. Serious exploration.
Big River
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

I rarely pass over these late '73 Big Rivers on the way to the Big Jams, and this is a great example why. Everything cooks, and Bobby especially is adding a lot. Plus the BR-flavored jam late in the Dark Star ties the set together beautifully.

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Whoo! Great version.
China Cat Sunflower
June 8, 1969
Fillmore West

This whole first set is very good.
