Kings Beach Bowl

Rips as hard and heavy as any I've heard! Unfortunately the climax is a bringdown b/c of the power cutting out, but Jerry comes back with a vengence!

Wonderful, what a soaring and uplifting version! Also possibly the *first* since we know 5/5/67 is probabaly a misdate...

New Haven Coliseum

I agree grendel, this version is definitely better than 6/30/85; it brings the serious funk!
Terrapin Station
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

"Alahambra" should really be labeled "At a Siding", since that is what this piece is called on the album version of the Terrapin Suite. But technicalities aside, this is a good one, and not just for the historical significance.

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Awesome extended soloing in this one
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

One of the all-time best Crypticals IMO. They really take this one up a notch towards the end.
The Other One

Austin Municipal Auditorium

Good one! Gets better with each listen.
