Dark Star
Two from the Vault. Sharp and energetic. For its time, Garcia and Lesh hit a new level on this one .

Cryptical Envelopment
This is the 2 From the Vault version I grew up with. The tight, crisp first half leads to an explosive psychedelic algae bloom in the 2nd. EPIC!

Morning Dew
Intense stuff; brisk but heartfelt. Real acid rock. The venue people cut off the power at the end, but 'til then, it's still 7 great minutes.

Mountain Jam
During Alligator, post-drums. One of the most discernible, helps that show was recorded on multi-track.
