Dark Star> He's Gone > Wharf Rat > Truckin'. RFK 73. A great sequence at, in my opinion, the show of the year

RFK Stadium

Right between a sweet Here Comes Sunshine and an all-time Dark Star, the boys rip a quick A&A. Nice interplay between Keith and Jer

Next Time You See Me

Fillmore East

The boys do this classic justice, both Jer and Pig have some solid playing. Not as rippin' as some of Europe 72s, but it's the April 71 run!

Madison Square Garden

The end of a Half-Step>Frankin's Tower>MAMU triptych, not too shabby.

Uncle John's Band
March 18, 1977
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.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

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
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1974
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
