A little extra mustard on this one.

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

Bobby is throwing down trippy precision the whole time that Jerry enhances with some downright raunchy jamming. This one has some stank on it.

I will never understand why Dead & Company treats this as more of a jam vehicle than GD ever did. So much potential always kept so brief!

The transition jam lives in some groovy space in between mellow noodling and hot-shit riffing... the kind of thing only '73 Garcia could truly pull off. Underrated.

Bob seems to be playing off Keith more than usual, with both offering up several fresh ideas that seem to get Jerry inspired at the same time. Stellar version.

This should be number one.
