Long and ferocious version that hardly lets up for a second. One of the best moments of an underrated show.

This one is is pretty kill too, but I think I like the night before (9/7/73) better!

Absolutely love this version...very intense, with some wicked, jazzy trills from Jer. Stunning version for its first time out.

St. Paul Auditorium

HOLY SHIT!!! Jer says "Get down!" and do they ever...one of the very best, most high energy versions I've heard, with ridiculous leads from Garcia. Be sure to listen to the NFA too! This is truly amazing, even with the tape cut.

Absolutely INSANE meltdown in this Dark Star. Just plain ridiculous.
