They Love Each Other

I love the vibe of this set, in a groove and kind of mellow with good, loud Garcia
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Really as good as anything. Maybe not as many fireworks as some of the top rated versions, but wonderfully played

For the earlier versions that are still a little shortish, it doesn't get much better than this. Garcia is really loud in the mix, and his playing here is gorgeous....and there is a fairly substantial jam with a vicious peak (just not as extensive as some of the 80s versions)
Big Railroad Blues
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

I'm not sure why this doesn't have more votes...it's at LEAST the best of the year, in any case
Weather Report Suite

Denver Coliseum

Absolutely one of the most amazingly gorgeous renditions of this they ever did; 12 votes is a joke (in your town)
