Whoa. Can't believe this isn't listed. Possibly Jerry's finest ever performance on this song - 20+ minutes of RAW POWER

This one's got some boogy. Keith gives Jer a big kick in the butt during the 2nd jam and they just take off!

Silver Dollar Fair

Just have to add that this Other One has possibly the most heavy and intense playing I've ever heard, it's a must-listen
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Forgot a description, but this one is a great Garcia workout; Feeling Groovy is a stunning early version of the jam...

This is THE Dark Star!!!!

Kiel Auditorium

Jerry is as chill as a Popsicle, kind of song that really makes you appreciate his laid-back playing style
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
