As far as these pre-August 74 versions go, pretty darn good; certainly far better than Veneta

Not the all-time best but surely deserves to be on the list

I agree with Mcjed, this is up there with Dekalb (give me 1978-01-31 and 1981-12-03 too, while we're at it)

Probably my favorite version. This is a great show save for the second set lacks a knockout punch--yet all the performances are high quality, and a great Black Peter....probably just right for the Road Trip treatment

It took me a while to be fair to this, since the next night is my favorite version of all time. This is really good, though.

You guys are making way too much out of a little clammage on the first part of the solo. Really good version, and overall the solo is very good.

Just kidding; this is a really great one. I won't vote for one unless Jerry's loud on "Los Angeles....give me Norfolk, Virginia!" and he delivers on that here, too
