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

cgarces, I was at 10-16, and it may have been the best show I saw (1984-1994)....this is a serious contender though

Amazing. I disagree with the comment about Garcia's voice (except on Dark Star!) It's rough in a good way, I love it!

This is not usually a song I pay much attention to, but they smoke it here!

Great show, every song is great. I never knew....only listened to the Dark Star for years until today. Garcia only goes around twice on the solo, which ordinarily would cost it a vote....but I LOVE the way he sings here, and it's snappy and tight. This is one of my favorites, not going to be a bean counter with the solo. Well, I mean I guess I did count it....I am going to be a bean counter, but I approve it anyway.
