Raw and raucous, this one packs quite a wallop for its size.

A mellow version featuring a rather unique outro portion for ’73. Truckin’>Eyes>Stella

Hartford Civic Center

One of those ‘I can’t believe it’s not here yet’s. This thing was forged from hot iron.

The satisfying conclusion of a good sequence. A sibling of 11/13/72.

Bobby is pretty good on this one. It's right after 'Promised Land'.

Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

While it seems that the boys did indeed play a few numbers on this date, it appears that the performance was truncated. And it also appears that out of perhaps simple mislabeling 5/11/69 was circulated under this date.

Spectacular version. More needs to be said about this one but first more need to listen to it.

Providence Civic Center

Found this one on account of a nice heads up from somebody on the archive.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Civic Center

Big (U.S.) bluesy jam out of this one and into 'Promised Land'. Unique.

Freedom Hall

A picture-perfect version smack dab in the middle of an epic sequence.
