EPIC 14 min. Caution goes on and on, Jerry is by far the most intense I've ever heard him on this song!

Labor Temple

Typically great '69 Star, and then some. Gets way outside the usual movements even before the verse. Middle jams are very trippy and emotional.

probably the tightest execution of the "Stronger than Dirt" yet in this early version.

The jam out of Dark Star and into this Eyes is legendary...some of the most beautiful stuff they EVER did! Not to mention Jerry and Keith are playing off each other really great for this only being the 2nd-ever performance.

I prefer the 20th and the 18th for June Eyes, but there was probably never a run better than these. Really unique stuff going on with the funky segue into Big River.
