You know the crew is feeling spritely and in a cowboy mood when they play this, blessed frequently in '89 with it.

Pigpen cut revived for the 90's with the group in kind of a slow crawling king snake vibe. Vince knows how to lay down some organ. Top late form.

Fillmore East

"there's nothing stranger than coming to New York", Garcia intones before counting off this wack job dark star. Post-verse jam is pretty mind blowingly reductionist, you can hear the pin-drop silence of fillmore east at several points. This is a version thats totally on the fringes. Then they come roaring back, Weir masterclass. Unique version for sure, one to add to your list! Gets overshadowed by the fireworks of 2/13 but this one is freakier
