Okay, so maybe Garcia drops some words (& even verses) here and there...it gives him an opportunity for an extra long solo, which winds around nicely.

Extended and ripping. Tape has a few sound issues, but its listenable. Sick version.

Revs up the rowdy crowd, tight and powerful 2nd set opener in a brilliant show. The AUD is a bit rough in places, but gives it great atmosphere. Hot.
5
Soulful, melodic soloing, with Phil interweaving with bombs. On the AUD (Charlie Miller) Phil is clearly audible, its thunder. Certified grade A.
5
Smoking set closer with intense build up to "test me, test me". Great late period gem.

Hi energy foot stomping opener to a very high energy show. Full speed ahead full throttle version.

fantastic swinging rocker of a bertha very excellent, love how Jerry stretches out the vocals this is some great shit right here

Punchy with some heat. Pigs tone on the pipe organ(?) or electric piano makes this special too. Source:CM

How can this one not be on here? This is what early Bertha should sound like! Check out Billy K...

High energy start to a great show. In fact a great run at the Berkley. Good vocals
5
Love how this one starts Phil up in the mix and then Jer gets rawish at the end...

Spring '71 - you already know it's real good.
5
Get down and boogie.
5
A few flubs at the start, but they make up for it by playing for their life afterwards, crazy intensity

Not the all-time best but surely deserves to be on the list
