Whoa, I can't believe this hasn't been submitted. Great vocal and four minutes of sublime outro solo. Check it out!

Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

Are you kidding me? Obviously, the Deadaverse hasn't listened to this one, or it would be in the top 10. Musically, this is pretty much flawless. It also has a calypso-like feel too, which makes it extra dancable.

I'm very partial to 10/18/74, but goodness gracious people! Extra points for the finale, which will leave your booties smoking.

Hey, I like JG's swinging approach on this night. It follows a Scar-Fire that doesn't get much love. This night was chill. The sound on the box set is good, a Betty Board, by the way.

Huh. I don't remember listening to this one. It is most excellent and I cannot add anything new to the comments here. I'm going to have to compare this with 2/26/77, which is one of my all-time favorite shows (well, maybe because I was at that one).
