Lots of submissions from this show. 2 well-played sets - this is my favorite Stagger Lee, not sure exactly why it just has IT.

The freakin harmonies on this one I miss that trio singing Euro 72 style. Back when Phil could sing that high

This one gets up here for Brent's creativity during the Jam. UJB sandwich 2nd set is sweet.

It's amazing to think that in a matter of only 10 days the Dead produced 3 of their most mind -numbing jams. This one being maybe the best.

Jai-Alai Fronton

Simply one of the best sequences ever. Phil's bass during the Spanish jam is the sound that acid makes.

Keith's awesome here but Bobby's guitar makes this one for me.
Bird Song

Pacific Coliseum

Definitely a Dark Star jam space. So very excellent.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Not sure what they did during d/s but they came back with razor focus.
