Comes right off a top shelf Scarlet Fire this has some poignant and bright Jerry playing. Really incredible 77 take.

Very surprised this wasn’t on here, a very fine Euro 72 version. Just right.

Part of a legendary 53 minute DS>MLB>Eyes>Doll segue, and it serves as a perfect windup section before settling into a dreamy eyes. Words can’t describe the beauty of it.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Dane County Coliseum

Listen to this one with the new Charlie Miller source, deserving of a lot more votes. Jazzy early 73 Dead style.

Keith is setting the mood, and as usual Jerry turns in a stellar China Doll performance. This whole segue is just as good as the 11/11/73 DS>Eyes>Doll

Everything’s already been said above about this legendary stuff here, but there’s a new Miller update that is just so pristine. A thousand thank you’s to that man.

Keith’s keys, Jerry’s patient soloing, and then the beautifully sung and played outro. Lovely.
