Delicate subtly from Garcia, emotive playing.

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

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.

New Minglewood Blues
Sept. 2, 1980
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Hard and fast way to start a show, and let the crowd know they are in for a thrill ride. Lace up your shoes this shows going be a rocker.
Let It Grow
Oct. 11, 1977
Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

Lesh drops some thunder and you have Garcia with some lighting quick leads, an all together cohesive and coherent jamming section for all members. The drummers play with the pace effectively. A great example of what they could do in terms of jamming when they were all on the same page. This is maybe my favorite version of the year
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 18, 1989
The Spectrum

Wicked ryder, Jerry hits every note, and just shreds.
Candyman

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Winterland Arena

Hard to get better this, without the flubs this version is higher on the list.
