Lovely mid-tempo ensemble singing with Bobby, Donna, and Jerry audible (Keith too?). Great driving bass and piano.

New Potato Caboose

Avalon Ballroom

Starts with gongs and cymbals in the cosmic dust of an outrageous TOO>Cryptical, then gears up and goes supernova for over 20 minutes.

Me and Bobby McGee
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

My new favourite version, and I never choose "favourites". Passionate perfect Bobby, the band so tight, Jer's perfect harmony, Phil driving it all.

Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Much more spacious (not Space though - no inter-galactic rocket ride here) with a relaxed and airy vibe, like a mellow walk in an open field. Nice version.
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 17, 1973
Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Sure does: Nothing at all disposable in this 2nd set. In 100 years people will still point to this as a perfect example of what the Dead could do.
Stella Blue

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Come for the Playin'>UJB>Dew>UJB>Playin' sandwich... stay for the beautiful and hot stella dessert. Love the high-energy, high harmonies.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

I keep coming back to this one and finding new things in it. Deserves its place at the top of the heap.

Man. That's really a beautiful one. I know, it's Veneta, but there are reasons why it's so popular.
