Magic in Saratoga! You can tell when Jerry chips in on the refrain, he's having a good old time.

VERY laid back version with subdued guitar work letting Keith and Phil shine through.Not sure I've heard another like this.

Great Jerry/Brent interplay. This whole damn show smokes if you can get past the lack of a SBD. The Huston/Miller remaster ain't too shabby.

Wow! If this doesn't get you bouncing in your chair, you need a doctor.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Winterland Arena

I agree, this one could easily squeeze into the top ten. Nice teases of a UJB jam leading into the transition.

Like grendel said, It's worth noting that the Archive link does Not take you to the best version of this show. The Miller soundboard recording really shows off Jerry's vocals and the Brent/Bobby harmonies on this sweet sounding Terrapin. Chrome users - look up the Grateful Grabber extension.

Charlotte Coliseum

Yes! I'm listening to this gem now. Very Spacey Playin' just about all Jerry. The rookie does an admirable job of hanging in there.

Wow. It's stuff like this that is making me rethink listening habits that ignore the post Brent era of the band.
