Booming peak jam, then a flawless segue back into TOO

Two huge swells in this one. The first is a very funk jam led by Keith and Billy. The next involves a manic peak by Jerry. Worth checking out

This jam is a patient wave of energy that hits a progressive peak, then dissipates as cautiously as it grew

Jam starts fairly mellow, then Jerry vaults it into noodley hyperspace

Incredibly delicate version. Garcia very much in the forefront

This first set is the fucking balls and this TMNS is a perfect, peaky cap to a hot opener

Should be curated by Neil Degrasse Tyson. Super heady exploration of the cosmos, with a very nimble and shiny run through the verses preceding it. Interesting the 2nd set getting so much love (very well deserved, for sure), but the first set is an absolute scorcher as well, as mentioned earlier. Amongst the top shows of the year, easily

This one really hits the spot. Juicy runs up the neck from Jerry. Poignant vocals. Dig it
