Each night of this run has a stellar encore. I prefer 04-29's UJB, but this one's still very solid.

the mystical oneness of all great jams, deep down
Playin' In The Band

Iowa State Fairgrounds

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.
