Nice soulful 69 version of Baby Blue, they should have played this more in the coming decade.

Star Lake Amphitheater

Solid version, not the slopfest that the trio sometimes was in the 90s.
Viola Lee Blues
July 16, 1966
Fillmore Auditorium

Doesn't get much headier than Dead '66 Viola Lee.
New Speedway Boogie
June 23, 1992
Star Lake Amphitheater

Nice version from the full band here.
Weather Report Suite
Oct. 18, 1974
Winterland Arena

Great one. This would have to be the last version with WRS. Wish they would have kept it.
Dark Star
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

This is quite underrated at only 8 votes, nice mellow DS into MLB jam.
