Berkeley Community Theatre

A wonderful Jerry/Phil duet on this one. Not quite the legend of Veneta, but still very strong in its own right.

Excellent jams. Mix/sound is off, but this is still a must hear version!

Very lyrical and melodic playing by Jerry. A pretty unique version, one of my favorites.

Awesome flowing buildups and peaks during the first jam especially. A bit under the radar, but definitely one of the best of 1972!!!

Parc des Expositions

Sweet fusion-style Caution jam with major hints of MLB. Builds to a fiery Garcia climax!!

Yeah, idk how this one wasn't here yet! Such a legendary show.

No doubt a legendary version, but IMO 5/22/77 smokes this one. No contest.

Absolutely! I agree this one has it all over 5/8/77.

Winterland Arena

Excellent flowing and moody version with a great Garcia lead space transition into Stella B.

Very good version, but I like the ones from May '77 a bit better. The 2nd instrumental break is really interesting though, with Keith and Jerry getting into a sweet little duel of sorts.
