Very beautiful, almost sparse playing on this one. It's different than most from '74 but it works.

Short but high octane version with Billy and Jerry crushing it...the jam rises to a furious climax!

Unusual version that starts out very quiet and minimalistic, alternating throughout from hot to cold. Jerry and Billy are really tearing it up!

Killer Nobody's jam in which Jerry apparently breaks a string, but Keith steps up very nicely. Some subtle Other One teases towards the end of one.

Kiel Auditorium

astonishing, otherworldly jamming and interplay on this version, Jerry, Keith, and Bob going absolutely insane. A++

Fairly short but very nice version with jazzy Garcia leads and beautiful interplay with Keith.

Absolutely mesmerizing version. The main ten theme is jammed out during the reprise for all it's worth!!!

This surprised the hell out of me. A very energetic, yet spacey and jazzy rendition with a reprise jam for the ages. Great stuff!!
