Hollywood Palladium

Wickedly jazzy and powerful; not as wild as 8/27, but it can hardly be faulted for that!

Assembly Hall, University of Illinois

Amazingly hot; Jerry and Keith kick things up a notch about halfway thru the jam and it never lets up!

Dane County Coliseum

Tight, jazzy and a little freaky too. An underappreciated highlight of a great show.

Two from the Vault. Sharp and energetic. For its time, Garcia and Lesh hit a new level on this one .

A beautiful MLB jam followed by some of the freakest DS space you'll ever hear. Careful around this one...

This is actually 12/18/73. But good version none the less.

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Easily one of the best of the '80s. How is this not more well known!?

Indeed this is underrated. Fantastic version.

This is a good one. Feb '73 Eyes have a unique vibe since they are still working out the ending.

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

This is possibly the highest energy version you'll ever hear, moving at Warp 10 (at least) with some MONSTER Garcia shred-age and huge power chords. Stunning.
