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.

The Spectrum

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

It's a nice version, but the one from the next night blows it out of the water.

Jerry plays the characters with more passion than usual. What this one lacks in jamming it makes up for in spirit.
Morning Dew

Hollywood Palladium

This is the earliest live version I've heard that fully capitalizes on the song's epic qualities. Monumental version..
The Other One

Love the jam out of MAMU. Interesting ideas that would later appear in WRS + a sustained DDNHM motif make for a compelling, sinister jam back into the Other One. Great version.

Auditorium Theatre

Not upvote worthy, but it is interesting to hear. This version has more of a garage band spirit than any other version I've ever heard.
