These Dec. shows are just great cowboy fun.

Billy tickles the drums at Bobby's lyrical blunder. Then blues.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

What a rocking version!
Standing On The Moon
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

I don't know... Garcia's playing is nice, but his vocals are heartbreaking. Why's it working for you, @cgarces?
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
March 30, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

For better or worse, this was my introduction to this sequence, so it retains a fond place in my ears and heart.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 7, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

IMHO, the "China Cat' is pretty uninspired with little jamming, but the "Rider" does have a cool groove. Why a top 20 spot, MusicSole (not trying to argue, trying to hear it)?
Not Fade Away
June 4, 1977
The Forum

This is an intense version! It's rather fast, and Jerry just goes off on it. It seems like they're been pushing the tempos throughout this entire tour, and the energy level rises accordingly. Don't let the AUD throw you off, this is absolutely worth repeated listens!
