You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man
Feb. 17, 1973
St. Paul Auditorium

The woman in DSO (don't know her name) did a version of this in Indianapolis in 2012 that was staggering. This is the best Donna version.
China Doll

Winterland Arena

Dark star into Eyes into China Doll. All three of these are contenders for best versions of the songs ever. Not to knock Barton Hall or Harpur shows, but this is the greatest Dead show ever IMHO.
Black Throated Wind
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Grate version from one of the best shows of 1973.
Black Throated Wind
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Best of 74 for sure.
Dark Star
Oct. 16, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Grate later version. The sound on this is so clear and clean.
