Opens the first electric set from the last (and best) show from the 8 night run at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Its nomination is long overdue!

Coliseum Stadium

Alert! This one not a throw-away. The best one of '74, no foolin'. Played with a perfect balance of gusto, gumption & grit.

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

I share the same sentiments stated above. During the coda, Phil stages a near total takeover. A great Eyes from a great era.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Um, a glaring oversight on us Deadheads. This should be ranked way higher....
Death Don't Have No Mercy

The Ark

Jerry belts impassioned vocals. The sorrow is graced with beauty.
Mountains of the Moon
April 22, 1969
The Ark

A highlight of a stellar show.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Berkeley Community Theater

I have a couple dozen career spanning GDTRFB's in my collection. Need I add another? Well, after hearing this version, the answer is a resounding yes! Seriously, as the above commenter stated, the last two and a half minutes are 'sublime'.
