I don't believe this one's not represented!! 22 minutes long, Brent's first, Jerry's jammin at warp speed....slowing into powerful drums

Maybe not "greatest" but an interesting discordant sort of jam makes this early version worth a listen

Grate Pick! Heavy Duty LIG in a rockin' Berkley show that begs for the matrix treatment.

This has been one of my pocket shows for years. Great S>F and the Hunter-Seamons matrix really makes it shine. Whenever I see Hunter's name in "other copies", that's the show I'm grabbing or replacing. He's got a FB page where he releases new matrix recordings: https://www.facebook.com/GratefulDeadTrix?fref=ts

Was just watching this video on Youtube. Interesting transition from Estimated...... almost like they're getting on the train into drums> space but Jerry pulls them back into the Station.
