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...

Yeah, idk how this one wasn't here yet! Such a legendary show.

No doubt a legendary version, but IMO 5/22/77 smokes this one. No contest.

Absolutely! I agree this one has it all over 5/8/77.

Excellent flowing and moody version with a great Garcia lead space transition into Stella B.

Very good version, but I like the ones from May '77 a bit better. The 2nd instrumental break is really interesting though, with Keith and Jerry getting into a sweet little duel of sorts.
