Polo Field, Golden Gate Park

Probably a "misdated" Dew, but no matter; this early version is as emotive as it gets

Seminole Indian Village

I usually prefer the China>Rider combo but this is a must hear version; Jerry really pours on the HEAT between the verses!!

Unbelievable Playin' on this Playin', they fly thru at least a hundred different changes at supersonic speed. Billy is absolutely on Fire!!!

Oh my god!!! Jaw dropping Jerry noodles on this one...a new favorite for sure.

Starlight Theatre

A very nice version, but imho it's not as hot as the versions which surround it (7-28 and 8-7-82) or 5-1-81 which is voted as the current "best".
