Sparkling rendition. Fans of upbeat '89 versions like 7/7 should check this out.

Sharp, feisty version with Jerry and Brent setting up a beautiful, dreamy -> Terrapin

Space
Sept. 4, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Super heady, effects-drenched Space that suggests what a fall ’79 Dark Star might’ve sounded like.

Promised Land

Winterland Arena

This really gets cookin’! Keith, Billy, and Jerry seem to be playing little rhythmic games, switching up the accents in interesting ways.

Splendid set closer with delightfully boisterous contributions from Keith and a permeating feeling of real joy.

The Other One
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

My favorite thing about this version is listening to Keith synthesize Jerry's brand-new Slipknot lines on the fly.
Ramble On Rose
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena

HUGE version right here. Heavy but never lumbering. The whole band is in peak form, although I’d be remiss if I didn’t single out one PHILIP LESH.
Cumberland Blues
June 23, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton

Probably one of the latest versions to suggest the old Viola Lee Blues jams. One of the breaks really gets primal. Phenomenal.

Heckuva show opener!
Big River
Nov. 25, 1973
Feyline Field

Jerry’s soloing is some of the hottest I’ve ever heard in Big River. Keith too exceeds my already lofty expectations.
