Pacific Coliseum

Delicate subtly from Garcia, emotive playing.

Pacific Coliseum

Laid-back, mellow, smooth. Zero gravity and heartfelt.

Universal Amphitheatre

Lovely mellow lullaby, very soft vocals, almost feels like floating on air. Very poignant.

Madison Square Garden

Energetic, smoking, and glue. Naturally tight, the click is unmistakable. The AUD is like an SBD, quality A.

Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1993
Cal Expo

I would stack this up with nearly all other latter day playin' jams. Super weird, but absolutely massive
Deal

Blistering solos by Jerry. I might even like this as much as that monster Playin' from this second set. Forget the Road Trips, the AUD for this show is superb.
Viola Lee Blues
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Full throttle, dark, and energetic.
The Other One
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Certainly one of the best ever.

Jerry Garcia called this the definitive version. I would hesitate to go that far, but a great version in its own right.
