Absolutely outstanding Garcia, a couple moments made my jaw drop

I dig this one, Garcia plays some longer, watery lines that get the job done in a satisfying way

Just listen to the Wolf--funky, dirty, sort of countrified--a unique and powerful version

Absolutely scorching show and version. No Dark Star though.

Yup killer
Greatest Story Ever Told
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

This is one of the best of the era!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

I can't decide but this might be the second or third best of the year...there's some weirdness where Weir and Garcia switch channels on this recording, and there's some pedaling and saying "Is it FG yet?" but the picking and the energy are colossal
Candyman

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

This is a top version, no question whatsoever--honestly, maybe the best of the era @quinn I have noticed you are a man of taste, check out the Big River from this date!
