Drums -> Space
'84/'85 was kind for D>S. Drums here jam then a great Space with a slowly building Spanish jam.

Pretty Peggy O
this is a great version im surprised its not already posted. i have a feeling this one is gonna go to the top of the list

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Headiness such as this excluded? THIS S>F is downright profound. Perhaps due to the passing of Parish's wife and daughter, Garcia adds some dark vibes

Holy Phil! This one has some serious muscle behind it, courtesy of Mr. Lesh's thumping bass. The solos ain't bad either!
