Cumberland Blues
A ferocious version that really crackles. The Matrix version of archive.org brings the Wall of Sound to your living room.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
A complex and delicate version with a very mellow transition
10
Not Fade Away
Seems like this one is going nowhere....band/Jerry sneeks up on you, and all of a sudden you are in the midst of a high octane groovefest!!!!
14
Dire Wolf
Seems like they're just having a great old time jamming together. A loose, fun-filled 1st set capping off a great month in Dead history.
19
Playin' In The Band
Deep and weird, capping a set full of loose fun. They get into it and it's all business with a wild trans into UJB, slipknot tease, and a great outro.
6
Space
Seastones: Completely wild and rises to a freaky climax. May cause brain blisters. Not for children.
8
Truckin'
Long exploratory solos, smouldering jams, cool interplay. Won't blow you off your chair but very inventive and interesting.
15
Uncle John's Band
Sweetness and light insight a wickedly melting Playin' sandwich. Pretty, gentle harmonies found somewhere out there the deep dark chaos. Tight sound.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
hot and tight version after a groovy NFA, surprised it's not up here yet

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Powerful U.S. Blues that veers into a solid Truckin'. Seamless transition between the two
