Coming out of MAMU, builds to a nice pace with that classic "rainbow full of sound" feeling

Coming out of space, into Stella, classic pairing going into and out of The Other One. They take their sweet time getting there, this is a spacey one

Comes out of a weird but not too weird space, going into the last death don't have no mercy. Lots of midi, to be expected, but still pretty decent.

Portland Memorial Coliseum

Basically an instrumental, as many have noticed, the vocals are shot for a good portion of the first set

Solid. Doesn't blast you to the moon necessarily, but a fine display of some summertime jammin' at one of the shows of the year

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

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
