Kresge Plaza - MIT

The jam during this blows me away every time. Pure psychedelic bliss. An argument could easily be made that this is the definitive version.

Easy Wind
April 4, 1971
Manhattan Center

Powerful and driving blues jam, with a unique ending. Garcia tears this one up, and Lesh provides a great hollow bass sound.

U.C.

Off the rails, intense blues jamming.

Eyes Of The World

Orlando Arena

Relaxed, controlled, and tight. Garcia owns this one.

New Minglewood Blues

Avalon Ballroom

Insane early version. Weir goes off on the vocals, and there is some energetic old time Dead jamming.

Morning Dew

Salt Palace

This is what all Morning Dews should sound like. Spectacular final crescendo. One of the better Dews of 73'
Cumberland Blues
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is a real smoker, and vocals are top-notch. The whole early show is worth checking out.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

They hit this out of the park. Each instrument clicks, and there is clear communication between instruments. Rocking and powerful version. Definitive.
Wharf Rat

Winterland Arena

This is really good. Epic O1<Wharf Rat
New Minglewood Blues
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

These guys were on fire this whole show. But during this song they kick it into a new gear and pour it on like this was the last time they were ever going to play the song.
