Sing Me Back Home

Grand Prix Racecourse

Gives me chills, something about how Garcia sings this one is mesmorizing. Hair raising solo after the second verse too.

Tight little version here. Bare bones beginning and cowboy Bob at the helm

Sweet melodic bliss to my ears. Jerry nails it vocally.

Simple tune, Phil is on fire though. Worth a listen.

Me and Bobby McGee

Coliseum Stadium

This version is almost 10 minutes long and I love it! Bobby nails the vocals, it smooth bouncy and all around great fun.

Blistering solo from Jerry. Keith so gingerly stroking the keys. Makes my ears happy.

Brent is very melodic here. The whole band is working to make a silky beautiful tune and they do a fantastic job.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Iowa State Fairgrounds

I still prefer 10 days later 6/26/74. But this one is growing on me, its stellar. Rocking China Cat, but the transition is mesmerizing. It sounds like Jerry plays a "Ive been working on the railroad" riff, just shortly after the meltdown. Absolutely fantastic!!

Without calling anyone an idiot. This version is absolutely silky smooth. Jerry's voice is pristine. Very dreamy. I like the 2 1990 versions a lot. But this one shines above. It is peaceful and subtle. It is lulling me as I type and I love it.
