Dark Star
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Any chance you could scan/share this with a brother? You've completely sold me on this show and it's one of my new favorites, I'd love to see his walkthrough.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

One of the things that sets this version ahead of some of the other stellar May S>Fs is how absolutely dialed in Jerry's tone is. Listen to it bounce off the hall throughout the Fire.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

For me, this is when the whole show locks in. It's all legitimately good after this, and great in parts, but I really hear the band locking in beginning here.

If you need a soundtrack for Derby today, spin this!

The Palace

Haha fair enough. I guess I can't really talk, since I never experienced it live. I just wanted to give Phil the benefit of the doubt (let's face it, Jerry's vocals aren't stellar from this period either). Boogie on friend!
