Adams Field House, U of Montana

Great second set version after a 45 minute jam and emotive China Doll.

Capitol Theater

Major screw-up of the lyrics here, Pig tries to make up for it and then Jerry just steals the show. I can dig.

Great transition out of Mama Tried! Real cool little western pair in the middle of a fantastic first set

The intro to Bird Song is one of my favorite GD song openings, especially because you are always in for a treat and this one especially.
Hard to Handle

Chateau d'Herouville

There's a great video of this one on YouTube! This one is long and smooth as Jerry kills it
Dark Star
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

IMO not as good as the Live/Dead version (nothing ever will be) but this one is killer. Nothing will ever hit like the first time i heard the Live/Dead Dark Star but man this whole segment through Lovelight is legendary. Really nothing like it
