Jerry knocks the solo right into the French countryside. Billy has some nice fills and the quality is pristine! One of 71s best shows

Super tight post verse jam here. Surprisingly unlisted, considering it was just released as part of the Giants Stadium Box set

Cannot believe this one is not listed! Man this one rips, such a better solo and all around playing than so many versions already listed!

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

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
