Or maybe the 12th. Who cares. It's simply beautiful.

Totally free. There are Mountain Jam themes, met with Stephen Jams, then Bid You Goodnight themes. Seems they couldn't get enough. Good stuff.

The single best transition into Cosmic Charlie (from TOO) that I know of. From an era when they still meant it as a psychedelic anthem... Love this.

The Other One

Forgotten show with a high-voltage and energetic jam, intersected with a sweet Attics. Great show, low quality AUD.

Black Throated Wind
Oct. 25, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

BTW at its best. This accelerates in a perfect arc from its tentative and sheepish first lines of regret walking the blue highway towards its outraged manic triumphant 180° turn. Go back and get hurt again, Bobby, do it....

Jerry's solo at 3:30 is a pristine three-chorus example of soloing over changes. Just killer, it is.
Cryptical Envelopment

Avalon Ballroom

All about the reprise. This one cooks.
Caution
Jan. 25, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Powerful doesn't begin to describe it. This is the Dangerous Dead, though pretty short for the era. This is the era when the Avalon would hold them to one-hour sets and the night before they cut off the electricity, so perhaps they were reigning it in.
Alligator

Avalon Ballroom

Starts a little unfocused, but comes out of the drum solo and transitions into Caution with blow-your-hair-back force.
