No spine-tingling moments but very good overall with interesting jam.

Music plays Hornsby and band as all are on point and with abundance of energy.

The Palladium

Heading into May '77 on a high note. Extraordinarily locked-in with every member top-shelfing it.

Solid if unspecatcular until last line "Los Angeles, Norfolk..." where Garcia searing vocals then searing guitar! Lesh and crew raging also..

Interesting as sure sounds like violin. Jerry's tone sounds little bit like Robbie Robertson. Phil lots of heady goodness.

Dark Star
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

Dark Star (St. Stephen too) called for by audience at a time not so unlikely to hear it in 1st set. Band indulges with few notes of DS then pause then it's played and man it's blissful!
Dark Star

Hofheinz Pavilion

Hooray Phil! Maybe some Coltrane Greensleeves and even some Sabbath Iron Man later on.
Promised Land
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

Bob shouts "Keith" just before piano solo and I'm half-expecting Richards to take his turn as band rips through this like they're the Rolling Stones.
Feel Like A Stranger

Indeed! In Dead! Jerry and especially Phil light this up! Love the funky jazz!
