Worth a mention. It has a good pace, and nice soloing.

Lovely version, the crowd is engaged, and Jerry delivers a perfectly patient sweet solo to end it.

Nice plucky playing from Jerry in that solo.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Hartford Civic Center

This version is all about the sweet Spanish jam segue into drums. Dope!
St. Stephen
Dec. 11, 1969
Thelma Theater

Very unique version with a hard driving and intense jam after the William Tell lyrics. Surprised not to see this one higher up in the list.
Dark Star

Thelma Theater

This is a very well played Dark Star. Has everything a Star from '69 should have; swirling psychedelia and gorgeous improv, nicely compacted into a tight 20 minute version.
