Hate to be that guy... But can't believe this one isn't here, best of 1970? It's on youtube. Type in 'Grateful Dead Hard to Handle 1970'

Live from the nations capital. Teaming with energy, love fall 1970. Jerry's guitar tone and voice are top notch.

Probably, in my opinion the best of Europe '72.. But man, when not picking and choosing "bests" and trying to compete them together with opinions.. All heads would agree that this is an amazing version. Absolutely mind blowing. Love it, everything about this version is absolute f*cking perfect.

Listened to this driving through the Mojave Desert in the middle of the night. Blew my mind. Insane version. Probably the best later version ever.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Olympia Theater

I've heard so many versions of China-Rider, this one always stands out the most for me. The transition between the two is just so tightly packed and shows the band working together perfectly.. Jerry's tone is absolutely perfect too. Love this version for sure.
