This gets kind of woolly, maybe a little chaotic but worth a listing

Sugar Magnolia

Garcia's lead is FURIOUS

Musikhalle

I often skip these early ones, but when you pay attention they can be mesmerizing--every instrument plays a unique part, Jerry sings the hell out of it, and Pigpen's organ adds a lot here

Incredible. And if you pay attention, I'm not sure Jerry's main lick is the same on any two of these...
The Other One
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Gosh, fellers, I don't see how someone could say this tops May 10th!
He's Gone
May 10, 1972
Concertgebouw

I wouldn't say any version prior to 1972-09-09 or subsequent to the hiatus is the 'best ever'! Plus there are overdubs on this unless you've got a two-track version... Pretty nice though
