Knickerbocker Arena

Un-fuck-wittable. Finally pulled the trigger on Spring '90 vinyl and this specimen of beauty shines BRIGHT. My favorite.
China Doll

Nassau Coliseum

Agree with comments above. This one is melodic and savory, with Brent nailing some great runs in the end segment
Midnight Hour
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Slinky, relaxed version. Not a hint of urgency. Great interplay with Lesh/Jerry/Bob and a solid mini-peak, led by Phil in the middle, pre Bobby hand clap rap.

Warfield Theater

Perfect amount of grit on the Jerry solo.
Friend of the Devil
Oct. 27, 1980
Radio City Music Hall

Brent on fire with a delicate, chunky solo, passes to Bobby for a subtle, confident drive, then Jerry blasts the song into the stratosphere with a spine tingling run up the neck.
