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

Everyone's in fine form! Billy and Pigpen sharing a mind for a few minutes here! Right up there with the best of em, no doubt

Awesome Dew. They are definitely enjoying themselves. Many peaks and valleys in this one. Supremely underrated show here, played to a village of about 300 people in the French countryside, what a moment

Giants Stadium

Inspired jamming during the peak of the jam. Super underrated show, that will change with the box set release

Seriously underrated version here. Great show, carries the energy over from jfk
Loser

Winterland Arena

This version is head and shoulders above Cornell. Jerry's solo makes time stand still, and he gets great support throughout the entire song, especially from the devils. Punctual kicks that give this version a particular twang to it. Top 5 Loser in my book
