Surprised to not see this listed - this entire show should be on here.

Surprised this one isn't listed. Nice mellow version with super clean playing by JG. Fantastic show.

I'm not always the biggest Mexicali fan, but Jerry's playing on this is dope. Sounds to me like there are a few Big River teases here. Good stuff.

This one starts off kinda run of the mill, then Jerry lays down a sick solo starting around the 4 minute mark. Great JG show as a whole.

Absolutely wish it was played more. This is one of my fave tunes from this show.

Agree with all of the comments here. This is without a doubt a top shelf version. Flawless.

I haven’t listened to this show in a long time. It’s obviously a very famous show and one of my first bootleg tapes as a youngster, so I put it on the back burner for many years as I explored a lot of different material. Today I revisited this classic, and holy shit. As a big TJ guy, this is right at the top for me. Fantastic Jerry action from start to finish, but the closing solo (my fave part of all Jeds) is fucking smoking. A+. I’m gonna get this Dave’s (Vol. 29) tomorrow.

Fantastic. June '74 is THE month for Eyes, China Doll and China Cat > Rider.

Love this version - has to be one of the longest at around 23 minutes? Gets nice and spacey. This is definitely an underrated show. Can't go wrong with June '74.
