I would put this up against any other '88 performance. Rise and Fall Jam unleashed!

First show of '84. Absolutely insane LIG, and one of the fastest. Phil bombs, Brent synths.

Outstanding performance. Like a mix of CSNY and Sammy Hagar with the Dead.

It should be noted here that the jazzy jam in the middle is an early "Stronger than Dirt/Milkin' the Turkey" jam. You can really hear the birth of the direction they were headed to later in 1975.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

Out of the countless versions of this tune that I've heard, this one stands out from the rest. The signal issues at the beginning of the tape where you can just hear Jerry and Billy make for a pretty cool intro as well.

The Spectrum

Really great slide work by Bobby here, plus Jerry throws off some alternate chord changes in the intro that give off a slow "Loose Lucy" vibe.

Community Concourse

Easily the best TC-era performance.
