The Truckin is good but the gem is the NFBM jam that follows.

How is this not on here? All you really have to say is 2/14/70, but with that being said...this one is epic.

How is this not on here. This thing is smokin. How did they have the energy for this encore after this epic show. Also, good cow bell in mix.

This one is a beaut.
Caution

Rotterdam Civic Hall

FYI... this show that should be in everyone's top 10 is 25% off at dead.net. It includes an amazing analysis of the 46 minute DS that is spot on and helps with understanding all the themes of the epic DS. This Caution is one of the best, also.

This one is a classic from a classic show.

This DS is not for everyone. I do believe that it requires multiple listens to really respect how complex it is with its multiple themes. I can see after one listen that it may not be for everyone. It does deserve respect in GD lore, though. The first 13 minutes is pure DS theme.
