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

Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

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

Palace Theatre

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

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 21, 1974
Palais Des Sports

Should also say that this has, along with 9/11/74, one of the best preseventyfive intros out there.
Estimated Prophet
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

5/7/77 was the first time that Eyes directly followed Estimated (from what I can tell), but there was no segue--Estimated ended and from 'dead air' we get Eyes. Cool to know this Boston show (in the 'hockey rink'--Phil) was the first Estimated, Eyes--I hadn't known that until your post prompted me to go back and double check.
Loose Lucy
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Nice call! A tight version that socks a good punch! Jerry's solo is brief but well-developed.
Cassidy
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Nice one. Marshmallowy smooth like a big Cadillac. The jam towards the end is succinct but interesting.
Black Peter
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

A nice Bird Song, Cumberland, Truckin' and PITB in this show, too. Oh yeah, and it's '72 so TOO ain't half bad, either.
