This is worth 18 minutes of your life.

Long Beach Arena

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

Dark Star

San Antonio Civic Auditorium

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

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

Crazy Fingers

Great American Music Hall

Yup, tight and tender. Great version! Maybe the best represented thing from this show (save for the oddball stuff only played around this time).
Eyes Of The World
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

This could very well be THE definitive Phil version of this song.
Uncle John's Band
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Short and sweet. Dave's Picks 2.
Truckin'
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Yup, good jam at the end (is it even Truckin' at that point) just before a Mind Left Body. And Jerry seems to execute his ideas really well within the song proper. Dave's Picks 2.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Like many folks, this is the first version I ever heard and it was love at first listen.
