Heavy NFA jam including a stunning Big You Goodnight theme. One of the best.

Holy Moley!!! WHITE hot Truckin' peak, into a seriously funky powerhouse space jam, and then landing on a wild Other One jam

Salt Palace

Simply stunning standalone version, possibly the most emotive outro jam ever

He's Gone

Selland Arena

Possibly the most gorgeously jammed version ever. Guaranteed Jerry's long, dreamy outtro will wisk you away on cloud 9

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 21, 1973
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Just have to add that I think this medley is a little better than the version they did on 10/27/73; Playin' reprise gets especially wild!
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Really intense, jazzy version...Garcia is on fire for the whole show, which is one of the best of the year IMO.
Scarlet Begonias
July 18, 1989
Alpine Valley

This transition is as perfect as it gets and one of the best of the '80s, if not all time!
The Other One
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

I think this version as a whole is a bit underwhelming, but the Tiger/feedback section deserves special mention as one of the greatest "spaces" ever performed.
The Other One
Feb. 27, 1969
Fillmore West

"It's really too weird up here, it really is..."
