Jerry's 2nd solo might just be the hottest BR solo ever! Hope they had a fire extinguisher on stage!!

I agree grendel, this version is definitely better than 6/30/85; it brings the serious funk!
Terrapin Station

Winterland Arena

"Alahambra" should really be labeled "At a Siding", since that is what this piece is called on the album version of the Terrapin Suite. But technicalities aside, this is a good one, and not just for the historical significance.

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Awesome extended soloing in this one
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

One of the all-time best Crypticals IMO. They really take this one up a notch towards the end.
The Other One

Austin Municipal Auditorium

Good one! Gets better with each listen.
