Everything I love about '87 Dead on aggressive display.

Garcia makes everything special, but Phil really drives this one home after the main solo.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

The Spectrum

This one is a bit of a sleeper, but it's got a really unique charm in the transition jam. All the typical peaks are there, but with a laid back jazzy '73 feel you just don't hear on other versions. A nice mix of amped up and laid back. Very cool.

Surprisingly low-rated. This one really shines on the new Dave's Picks.
Cumberland Blues

The Spectrum

High energy AND precise. You don't always get both on Cumberland, but this version requires no compromise.
