Nice vocal jam with the crowd taking part, only wish they jammed it longer. Brent sounds amazing on that Hammond, but is anyone surprised? DvP39

Brent tickling the ivories and Jerry noodling away, just beautiful. Builds into the drums really nicely. Released on Dave's Picks 39

Off of Dave's Picks 39. One of the earlier pairings with NFA, transition could be hotter, but all in all good jamming

Uncle John's Band

Winterland Arena

How can this possibly only have 6 votes. After an amazing show where the Boys and Donna traverse the plains of collective transcendence several times, they play what is, in my opinion, one of the most quintessential Grateful Dead songs in their book, and they play it quite well at that. Soft and soothing, and also exploratory and intriguing. This show is dying to be release one of these days.

Unreal transition, drops into the feeling groovy theme absolutely perfectly! Part of one of the best shows of '74, as well. The truckin>jam>nfa>gdtrfb is off the charts

Providence Civic Center

I'm just glad something is finally above Veneta! This one does indeed smoke, and they smack the hell out of the feeling groovy jam!

Jam goes beyond the distance, back, and then around the universe once again. My god! Primal Dead in their absolute finest
