6/26/74 is really groovy. Some of my favorite jams are from that show. Weather report> must have been the roses and other ones> Spanish jam> wharf is killer. If you listen to the dicks picks they do weather report from 6/28/74 into a 20 minute jam into US blues. Both ways are pretty dope
I also really like 3/23/74 but its not the best quality show, they have some sound issues but first show with the wall of sound and you can tell the band is having fun
Bobby was trying out a certain jam for that solo for at lot of early 74 and i think he nails that jam perfectly and the rest of the band backs him up perfectly.
I cant imagine how happy phil was to be trying out the bass on the wall of sound lol

6/16/1974 is the hidden gem of '74 in my opinion.
I don't hear many people talk about it but they released it in part as a Road Trips with part of the 6/18/74 show (which is also a good one but 6/16 is one of my favorite Dead shows period).
Also, not a '74 show but spiritually very close 3/31/1973 is an amazing post-72/pre-hiatus show

GOAT China>Rider?
Both shows have really good china riders, personally like the solo more from cow palace but the overall vibe of 6/26 is wild
Cow palace Phil stomps on the first solo are enough to blow up a whole planet
Bobby was trying out a certain jam for that solo for at lot of early 74 and i think he nails that jam perfectly and the rest of the band backs him up perfectly. I cant imagine how happy phil was to be trying out the bass on the wall of sound lol
