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!

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...

Oh yes!!! The BEST from '72 no doubt, won't argue with it being the definitive one either.

Possibly the most "rockin" China Cat ever!

Underrated version from summer '74! A euphoric peak into the Feelin' Groovy jam
