Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

A very tight version with great Phil bombs and Jerry solo. This show slips under the radar. Don't miss it.

Fire On The Mountain

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Jerry's Mutron magic and Bobby's noodling slide make this version unique. So much energy here.

Drums -> Space
March 15, 1990
Capital Centre

The jam out of Terrapin>Drums>And>Space is a lysergic MIDI soup of ecstasy. Too bad it had to go into Brent's cheesy lullaby after instead of a Wheel

Estimated Prophet
Aug. 20, 1983
Frost Amphitheatre

A raging '83 version, filled with crispy headiness. Bobby and Jerry steal faces during the end jam.

Winterland Arena

Flawless execution. Perfect Keith solo and Garcia performance. A definitive '77 version.

Hard to Handle
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East

Da fak is this doing so low? This is the essential version, with the lysergic melt-down around the 4:30 mark. Bobby's rhythm work here is truly extraordinary, not to mention the Jer solos and Phil.
Althea
March 14, 1981
Hartford Civic Center

I hate to be "that guy" in the comments thread (although it appears I am not alone), but there are a number of better versions of "Althea" that are more emotive than this from a variety of different years...it's all about that "this space is getting hot" crescendo for me.
New Potato Caboose
Dec. 7, 1968
Bellarmine College

Wow, those vocals before the first jam. Incredible. Is that still Pigpen on organ, or TC?
The Other One
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

Although Hunter's matrices usually get my vote, check out the Jim Groves matrix of this show. It mixes a little less audience in.
Uncle John's Band
Dec. 26, 1969
McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

Epic workman's version of this Workingman's tune. Pure acoustic bliss.
