Liquid fire jamming

Feel Like A Stranger

Meadowlands Arena

Super tight, and funky version. Contender for best of 84'.

Estimated Prophet
Dec. 16, 1994
Sports Arena

This estimated prophet is wild, intense, and as wicked as they come. With Branford Marsalis, the jam is almost as cosmic as a Dark Star.

Samson and Delilah
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

As is the case with nearly all 1977 versions, this Samson and Delilah is huge and each member provides an energetic presence.

Davis Gym, Bucknell University

Early version of the song, but definitely finding its way nicely, a great mellow version that is jammed 10+ min.

Awesome version and Garcia's voice sounds great.

Pigpen sounds awesome in this. He was a really great blues singer, and that fact is exemplified in abundance throughout this great show.
Good Lovin'
April 17, 1971
Dillon Gym

Absolutely charged, Garcia steps on the throttle, and never slows down until he slams the breaks to let Pigpen speak. Straight ripping guitar, and a legendary rap. What more is needed from a Good Lovin', a classic performance, and the prototypical heady version.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Majorly underrated version. Awesome transition and sick jamming.
Greatest Story Ever Told

U.C.

Great powerful and intense version, the St. Stephen tease is awesome. Pure fire.
