Fillmore West

Excellent stand-alone version, Jerry plays and sings a perfect tempo. Beautiful version, ethereal to say the least.

Civic Arena

Middle of the road show at best, but this Black Peter portrays a certain beautiful somber joy that just clicks along with the very slow tempo

Frankly, I was quite surprised upon seeing this one had yet to be posted. A seamless and absolutely sick version

Garcia plummets deep to the final climax, a fairly quick but power packed rendition

Yes! This is one of the best.
Jack Straw

Insanely hot version. Would be best Jack Straw ever, but is hampered by some horrible lyric flubs

Bobby going solo acoustic after Jerry breaks a string. An interesting version, pretty cool.
