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

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

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...

Definitely an epic jam with a sick-ass Truckin'. Underrated show too.

One of my favorite versions ever. It's so good, I don't even mind the turkey gobble sounding tape "effects".

A wonderful lilting beauty of a Bird Song. A favorite.

WOW!! Effing siiiick buildup in this jam!!!! A must hear. Segues into a sweet NBFBM with some cool Other One-ish type riffs/teases too.
