Perfect full band gelling in a dramatic end jam portion, leading effortlessly into China > Rider

Greatest Story Ever Told

Giants Stadium

Why the dead chose to neuter the peak jam inherent in early incarnations of this song is one of the most perplexing mysteries ever. This is crisp tho

This hit me perfectly. Well paced, lyrically nailed the poignancy, peak was driven. Nice late-era Peter

I was surprised to look back and see how relatively short this version was, because it had wonderful pace and the punch was ferocious.

Giants Stadium

I have a huge heart for 89/90 era Knockin's, most especially for Jerry's perfect, blissful ambient tone. This one slays exactly as it should

Really crisp, Jerry is on fire and Hornsby paints some nice scenery. Great version!

This one pops so nicely. Band in crisp form, Garcia shining brightly throughout!

Baltimore Civic Center

This show overall is exceptional, and this jam puts it into the stratosphere. Inventive, patient, purposeful jamming - truly singular in its sound. The band is connected and inspired. Cannot recommend this jam enough!

Catholic Youth Center

Phil creates a DEEP pocket pre-Pig rap and he, Jerry, and Bobby emerge as a three-headed monster of groove. Post-rap, Jerry takes over on driving the jam with a hypnotic pattern the rest of the band latches onto. Great jam!

Frost Amphitheatre

This show is such a treat. Jam has tight staccato style like the clicking of a dial. Chunky goodness
