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

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

The Scarlett from this is really nice. Loose, airy, flowing jamming
Dancin' in the Streets
April 14, 1978
Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

If you are a fan of huge funk jams and intense butt-sweat boogie, this is the Dancin' for you. Monster, at 17+ min.

The Spectrum

Jerry's noodles make this an exceptional version. Very sweet

Providence Civic Center

Really triumphant, powerful, but patient (as noted) way to kick off a great show. The one-two punch of 1/2 Step > Cassidy is killer. Been on respin a lot.

Jerry comes out of the gates swinging with this. Notable "extended" jam, with a bit of extra sauce to satiate eager fans. The noodling is top shelf - top tier version! Not usually a "go-to" song for me, but i keep going back and spinning this when i visit this stellar show
