Great version of space, it's like a spanish jam with UJB teases.

This one grooves and slinks along. A chill head bobber. Segues into Terrapin.

Perfect Version. Jerry takes his time with it and nails the solo.

Cold Rain and Snow

Capitol Theater

Slower tempo, big thick bass sound. Feels like your trudging through the snow with the band.
Bird Song
July 21, 1990
World Music Theatre

This version is just ok. It feels sloppy and to me sounds like Jerry is struggling to find the right notes to play. Does not have that nice free flow feeling that the top rated versions have.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Philadelphia Civic Center

Awesome! A unique case where the Rider for certain out does the China Cat.
Dark Star

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

It's really not till the last 5 minutes of the song that you get anything that resembles "crashy noise". This is one that needs full attention though as there is so much going on here. It is certainly not a version you can play in the background during a party. I really do love this version though.
Eyes Of The World

Jai-Alai Fronton

This version is fantastic! It really deserves more love. It's up there with all the other wonderful and highly regarded renditions from '74.
