Perfect execution, akin to the Europe '72 version in terms of precision, Kreutzzman is all over the kit. Fiery Garcia licks reaching incredible peaks

Oh my, the band interplay is absolutely top notch and so mature. Ultimate boogie-gusto, Jerry givin' his all and singin' with soul. Great shit.

This blew my mind at the movies, the vocal jam at the end was insane on the big screen

Epic version. Slowly climbs and climbs, but does release a great amount of energy in the solo. Not quite the beast it'd become on 10/20/1974, but certainly the pre-cursor to it.

Certainly in my top 3. Jamming is top shelf. Jerry sounds fucking perfect.

Oh my. This is an incredible Eyes. Ridiculously good transition out Dark Star, its such a great execution, and it's the second time played live.. Top shelf 1973 Dead. This one sways in the wind, but it's very focused. Garcia is more on than ever. This is insane.

Some awesome exploration in this one. Garcia is fucking incredible in this. This is an awesome display of the dead bringing their jazz-based influences to life. Wonderful version that should be rated much, much higher.

One of the best Bertha solos I've ever heard.
