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

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
