Weather Report Suite
Tasty textures. Great soundboards are available for this awesome jam.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Hard-charging drumming from Billy leads the way. Best MLB jam in this pairing I've ever heard. Hard to believe it wasn't listed yet.

Morning Dew
Thunderous peaks, delicate valleys, and everything in between. Bleeds out of an epic Dark Star

Brown Eyed Women
Bouncy, energetic version
33
Cumberland Blues
Good ol' country rock and roll at its finest.

Candyman
Very mellow yet authoritative. Slinky. Jerry's solo melts like no other. One of my favorite solo's he's ever done.

Ship of Fools
The second live version has a cool slightly different feel.

Playin' In The Band
A standout version from a great show.

It Must Have Been The Roses
A pretty, early version from a great show.

Feelin' Groovy Jam
If this version doesn't take you soaring, you shouldn't be listening to the Dead.

Loser
a very good jamming version from early '74

Tight little version here. Bare bones beginning and cowboy Bob at the helm

Spanish Jam
Super short segment of Spanish Jam, but its so unique as the theme is played amongst a pyschadelic background sound. Awesome.

Big River
Every song from this show should be on here
