Perhaps its uniqueness prevents it from EPIC status but listen to how obtuse this thing is.

San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Something for everyone here: lush aural quiltwork, bass solo, and a 'Feelin' Groovy' segment which is followed by tight abstractions

Laid-back yet rich and full. Well worth a listen!!!

Both more nuanced and multi-textured than your typical PITB jam. Great stuff!!!

Great version from a very good overall show.

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Depending on a number of variables, there may be versions as good, but there are certainly none better. I love this playing over the opening scenes of the film 'Sunshine Daydream'. Let's hope we get Veneta released a la 'Crimson White & Indigo'.
Eyes Of The World

Edmundson Pavilion

Phil!!! This and 7/31/74 are maybe THE two MONSTER Phil versions of this tune.

Dillon Stadium

The more I hear this one the better it seems to get.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Hofheinz Pavilion

The song was just emerging from the primordial slime at this point and so it is not as pleasantly plump as it would be by, say, 1977, but Jerry really sounds like a sweet Georgia peach on that solo in between the Rio Grandee choruses.
