Caution

Danish Center

Pigpen drives hard here, harmonica all the way. Early fireball, only giving us a glimpse of what Caution would turn into in only a year!

Really bluesy, love the Guild Starfire sound Jer had here. Flows into a groovy early Caution.

Jazz. Just plain jazz. Keith really shines together with Billy on this one, they carry you away in the nicest way. How the he** is this not listed?

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Winterland Arena

Bill jazzes on throughout the transition, and the jam goes just a little bit furhter than before. Cool version with a laid back IKYR.

Listened to this while falling asleep yesterday, needless to say i slept well. No mistakes here, they're giving it the full treatment this night. Love this version!

Incredible, the outtro takes off completely. Dude420, i think this became my favourite as well.
Let It Grow

Relentless. This has to be one of the best from '74, with Phil bombs, non-stop pickin' from Jerry, "No-breaks-on-this-train" Billy, and with Bob and Keith functioning as a unt behind it all.
Truckin'

Campus Stadium, UCSB

Tight as all hell, awesome Trucksplosion, insane thematic jamming > non-thematic jazz > Space > Let It Grow. It looks about as unreal as it sounds, and the fact this Truckin' has five votes compared to the 5/19 version at the top of list is a shame, this one is like an upgraded version.

Bobby shines here, and the subtle Nobody's Fault teases in the jam before drums are really cool. A fine Truckin' jam which never loses it's momentum, severely underrated!
