Zig zagging but controlled. Excellent version

Bird Song
Aug. 29, 1983
Silva Hall, Hult Center

Majorly underrated show, but A+ performance, and one of the best shows of 83'. Very tight Bird Song here.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 22, 1979
Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

Scorching...

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1979
Recreation Hall - Penn State University

Long and epic. Transition is on fire, and whole combo flows perfectly.

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

Cal Expo

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.
Morning Dew
May 6, 1970
Kresge Plaza - MIT

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