Edmundson Pavilion

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

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

From a very hot 1st set. The whole band shines.

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

Dancin' in the Streets

Golden Hall

Very jammy. Quite conceivably what an early ’78 Dark Star might have sounded like.
St. Stephen

Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

This had me cranking the volume. Excellent jamming. Also give 1/11/78 a try.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Des Moines Civic Center

I’m not sure I hear it as Supplication, but the jam out of Saint into Drums is indeed excellent.
Space

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

I dispute GDM’s labeling of this as Space — ’77-’78 had a lot of solo Garcia moments, just like Phil was prone to stepping out in ’72-’73 or Bob/Brent before drums in the early ’80s — but it’s a magnificent moment.
