Kings Beach Bowl

Dick's Picks 22 version, Lake Tahoe. Smooth as silk. Jerry plays fast and with a great tone. VERY fluid.

Feel Like A Stranger

Autzen Stadium

Very hot. Long, jammed-out ending. Great stuff from Summer '90

Gimme Some Lovin'
June 15, 1985
Greek Theater

The entire show is PERFECTION, but you've got to hear the transition from Wheel into Gimme Some Lovin. They just nail it. Best version ever

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 5, 1970
Fillmore West

Very mellow version, almost an Island feel. A long, slow, jammed-out version. Tasty leads from Garcia. Electric with an acoustic feel.

Oct. 11, 1983
Madison Square Garden

A "Perfect" version. Drums, vocals, guitar leads, bass... everyone is on-point!

Hot AF
Death Don't Have No Mercy
Nov. 11, 1967
Shrine Auditorium

No fat! Powerful, bluesy, and soulful. Is Jerry playing a Les Paul?
Spanish Jam
Jan. 17, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

This should be higher! This is the *best* Spanish Jam the Grateful Dead ever played
Dark Star
May 14, 1974
Adams Field House, U of Montana

Should be higher on this list. Better than the February and October versions. Sooo drippy
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

Jerry is on fire. Lots of blistering leads. This Nobody's Fault is more developed than others you have heard.
