Paramount Theatre

It's so apt that The Wheel would roll into Truckin' that the outro is short but the rest is very nice.

Jerry really mines the changes on this one and pulls out plenty of little gold nuggets (like Coltrane). Good interplay, too. An inspired version.

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

A cheesy video of this kickass version would have Garcia playing atop a steam locomotive as it barrels down the track.

Incomplete, but what remains is top-notch and essential.

Capital Centre

Awesome jam at the end--that type mostly particular to the Dead's later period in which the jam doesn't seem to move linearly through time.
Eyes Of The World
May 13, 1983
Greek Theater

A good version. Spring '83 has some good shows, for sure.
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

A good version.
Greatest Story Ever Told
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

This is the version that made me fall in love with this tune.
