Gentle, melodic version. Sweet

Last half of this jam is incredible. There is a point where Lesh completely takes over. From there on is stunning

Awesome jam leading into the song, then solid execution

Big ol' 20 min version from '77. This one peaks nicely

Many facets to this one. Gets into some nice mellow jamming just before a nice Stella

Brown Eyed Women

Giants Stadium

Bruce on this - my GOD! Hard to follow Jerry's killer solo, but Bruce practically lights the keys on fire. So, so good. Phil with great thumping groundwork
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Agree wholly with initial post. Both China and Rider each seem to have a bit extra room and extension. Bruce opened these kinds of doors for the band in that era to confidently explore. Liking this version a ton

^what the clash said. This version is made by the 2-3 min of seeming drums/space the precedes it. That little jam segment is spacey gold and transitioning into Saint is pretty shocking.

Cracking solid from everyone, with Hornsby laying some thickness

Jerry’s ethereal, tinkling tone on this solo is definitive catharsis.
