Jerry is a bit subdued BUT the solo may be the best ever.

First set opener, I really dig the MDs os this era. Still kind of sturdy and brisk but becoming the majestic ballad that it was in the 70s/80s.

I think this is my favorite, right now anyway. I've always known this Dark Star but never listened to the rest of the show until today....I didn't realize how great it is, I was missing out!

Not really sure what people are talking about with "cacophony" and "aimless noodling" etc....it's an out there jam, for sure, but it's cohesive in its way. I think the Venusian Red Cross showed up this night. Very appropriate that this is next to 1973-12-06 on the list, both are stupendous but both are outliers, unlike other versions in a way that seems similar to me, even though they don't sound like each other. This one is great.
