Fallout from the Phil Zone. Unique, one of the finest early versions.

HUGE early Dancin', possibly the best ever--they are just totally dialed into one another like fingers of a hand!

Wow, this is superb. Jerry is brutal and sharp as a tack during the intro jam! After that things get more introspective but quite beautiful...

One of the heaviest crescendos ever; the peaks are just unbelievable!

Indeed a wonderful version, one of my favorites of the year in fact.

Very fine version, but try 9/18/74 for a best-of-the-year contender.

Stanley Theater

Sort of a sloppy version, but they more than make up for it with an insanely ferocious jam with multiple Jerry peaks. Overall, this is one of the best I've heard.
