Morning Dew
Very powerful version. They nail the dynamics - loud as hell and soft as a whisper. Coming out of a great SPACE...

Cassidy
X factor jamming with Garcia playing some unique soaring leads in the modal scale. Ending jam has similarities to a strong version on 10/12/83.

Drums -> Space
Drums -> Space the opportunity to find ones way to Neptune, this Space achieves liftoff and descent in transitioning into a blissful Dew
6
Mexicali Blues
Jerry's restatements of the melody throughout his solos are brilliant uptempo marvels.
6
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Steps out unexpectedly from an almost-aborted Miracle. Tight and right jamming.

Terrapin Station
They hit all the change-ups perfectly here and close strong at their neighborhood venue.

My favorite of the year. Not the longest but it's just performed tight!
