Jerry and Phil are off the charts during a really unique jam in the last half of this epic DS

Bickershaw Festival

EPIC VERSION!!! Primal attack reminiscent of '69-'70 harldy lets up until the 1st verse 13 mins. in...the thematic jam at the end is trancendent!!!!

Beat Club

The insane energy does not let up once for the whole 20 mins, except for a cool MLB-ish jam that comes after the 2nd verses....weird stuff

Jack Straw
April 6, 1987
Meadowlands Arena

Coming from a hardcore pre-hiatus guy, this might just be the best Jack Straw ever.
Mind Left Body Jam
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

One of the best parts of an otherworldly Dark Star. Probably in my top 5 MLBs.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 26, 1973
Pershing Municipal Auditorium

The one released on the Dick's Picks is 2/28/73, FYI. And it's an excellent version, possibly the best before they started playing the "Feelin' Groovy" jam bridge to Rider.
Ship of Fools

Jai-Alai Fronton

Really unique version with the jam leading in...sounds just like a mellow summer evening.

Parc des Expositions

A+ perfect version. Keith's keyboard fills make this one.
