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.

Still something about this one Jerry sings so sweetly and the melody, soo smooth. The boys freaking nailed it!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

I love it. As said before a very smooth and airy China Cat, followed by a steady driving I Know you Rider. Like so many others from 73/74, Phil's bass is what makes it awesome.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 9, 1977
McNichols Arena

Silky smooth transition!! Bouncy Fire and well sung Scarlet. I am digging it!

This one does deserve to be higher. Talk about epic. The crescendo is just amazing. It gives me goosebumps. Very sweet sound.
