Winterland Arena

Very beautiful, almost sparse playing on this one. It's different than most from '74 but it works.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Short but high octane version with Billy and Jerry crushing it...the jam rises to a furious climax!

Palais Des Sports

Unusual version that starts out very quiet and minimalistic, alternating throughout from hot to cold. Jerry and Billy are really tearing it up!

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Killer Nobody's jam in which Jerry apparently breaks a string, but Keith steps up very nicely. Some subtle Other One teases towards the end of one.

The Other One
Nov. 1, 1968
Silver Dollar Fair

Just have to add that this Other One has possibly the most heavy and intense playing I've ever heard, it's a must-listen
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Forgot a description, but this one is a great Garcia workout; Feeling Groovy is a stunning early version of the jam...
Dark Star
Feb. 27, 1969
Fillmore West

This is THE Dark Star!!!!
Deal
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Jerry is as chill as a Popsicle, kind of song that really makes you appreciate his laid-back playing style
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
May 14, 1974
Adams Field House, U of Montana

maybe the highlight of the show, and that's saying something!
