Doin' That Rag
Feb. 11, 1969
Fillmore East
An extra handful of stank on the end jam puts this well above a "normal" version. Definitely worth checking out

Fillmore East
Not the longest version (due to time restraints), but this one starts like it is shot out of a fucking cannon

Rec Hall, Penn State U
A short, incredibly dense, and interesting piece of space

I've commented earlier on the NFA portion of this sandy, but this GDTRFB is a considerably meaty portion as well! Very hot ish

Awesome beyond measure. Magnificent, blissful peak, then breaks free completely from the song convention for deep exploration, landing after a serious manic moment, softly, into Playin' reprise. Shocking this one has so few votes.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium
Remains a SERIOUS deep space venture to the cosmos. Really, really far out jam, while staying melodic with no frantic cacophonous breakdown. Perplexing why this isn't showed more love.

This one is tricky, because the whole band is clicking and Jerry is undeniably crushing it with fiery leads up the fret board. However, Bobby's slide is so distracting to me and takes me out of those "it" moments.

Jerry initiates his leads with absolutely spine tingling, delicate flutters, then builds the peak to cathartic explosion. Gorgeous
Deal
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion
Smoking early version of Deal. Not the face shredding '89-'90 variety, but a hot little potato all the same
