Another dynamite, joyous transition into rider. Feelin' Groovy jam is one of the best I've ever heard!!

Playin' In The Band

Aarhus University

Holy shit!!!! This jam absolutely BURNS with pure psychedelic intensity; the peak is just enormous for such a relatively short version. Possibly the finest of the tour, besides maybe 5/24.

Best of the year imho
The Other One

This version has grown on me considerably. Lots of wonderful, loose exploration, capped off with a beautiful MLB jam.

Updated 8-13-13: One of the very, very best of the tour!!!! Garcia absolutely SHREDS after the 1st verse, after which they launch into some awesome Tiger/Caution jamming. Jam after El Paso is also very passionate and jazzy. What a classic!

Providence Civic Center

Excellent version capping off a legendary second set!
