Surprised this isn't here. Tight, clean version with beautiful tones and harmonies. Serene version before that blazing Fantasy.

I really dig Hornsby era performances of this classic tune.

Fantastic "Peter" with a great outro where Jerry really lets 'er rip.

One of the best post-Brent versions of "Stella Blue." Soaring, transcendent outro solo. Power Jerry.

Jerry's piling on the soul and plays a very nice solo.

Madison Square Garden

Get the audience tape for this one and go to straight to "Truckin'." The sound is in your face and punchy and the crowd is absolutely wild. Bonkers "Truckin'." This whole show is fucking incredible.

It's stuff like that verse being Brent's last vocal and Jerry's last lead vocal being "Black Muddy River" that make me believe in the Dead's cosmic synergy.
Foolish Heart

Delta Center

The last truly great Dead show. Jerry is focused, committed, alert, creative. This is a monster "Foolish Heart."

Love this version, very bright and relaxed with nice playing from Brent and a solid vocal from Jerry.

EPIC VERSION ALERT! Bustles along brilliantly.
