Edmundson Pavilion

'74 was a great year for the short barroom-type numbers.

One of many high-high-energy versions from '74.

Very strong '90s version with fluid, effusive Jerry runs.

Just incredible. Captures the essence of the song perfectly.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Iowa State Fairgrounds

At one point, the transition jam threatens to go "type II," to borrow the Phish term. Thrilling!

RFK Stadium

Absolutely gorgeous.
Good Lovin'
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

A very exploratory Good Lovin', even by the standards of Europe '72. Like a laid-back Playin' in parts.
Dark Star
Dec. 31, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Do not overlook this version. Equals or surpasses the other versions from '89-'91. Incredible molten jam.
