Mid-Set Jack Straw followed by this great '84 Bird Song

Drums -> Space
'84/'85 was kind for D>S. Drums here jam then a great Space with a slowly building Spanish jam.

Pretty Peggy O
this is a great version im surprised its not already posted. i have a feeling this one is gonna go to the top of the list
12
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Headiness such as this excluded? THIS S>F is downright profound. Perhaps due to the passing of Parish's wife and daughter, Garcia adds some dark vibes

Man Smart, Woman Smarter
Band reeling from preceding S>F.

Gimme Some Lovin'

Holy Phil! This one has some serious muscle behind it, courtesy of Mr. Lesh's thumping bass. The solos ain't bad either!
