Greek Theater - University of California

Perfect final chorus. Love it when Garcia chimes in with 'and you got yours!'Like he's directly speaking to his bandmates

This one is VERY sloppy,but rocks the hell out. 9/10 thanks to Jerry/Keith interplay

Have been a fan of this the moment I heard it. Aggressive!

Barton Hall - Cornell University

If you like Jerry playing slide the only other version that comes to mind is 1/22/78. It's not as complete as Cornell, but there's like a 20 second stretch where Bobby and Jerry both start playing slide creating one hell of a trip.

The Omni

Those two April '91 shows in Atlanta gave an audience a once and a lifetime to hear this band sound remotely like it again. The Stagger and Deal from this same show are both equally as noisy violence

Negligibly underrated, I guess AUDs don't have any ass kickers in their cataloge..
