Drums -> Space
May 8, 1984
Silva Hall at the Hult Center

A low key Drums leads to a Space that I've heard others (accurately) describe as "dark" and "weird"

A nice version but I love the jam that bridges PITB with this

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Not a raucous version like 12/26 but still quite groovy, w/ heavy Phil bass

Morning Dew

Hippodrome

This isn't a monster like 5/8/77 but it's a sweet mellower version w/ a hot ending.

Mexicali Blues
Nov. 24, 1979
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

This can also be described as a bouncy version. There's some quality guitar and organ action.

Dean Smith Center

I also really dig this version. It makes me feel like I am actually on a cosmic journey.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 3, 1979
Market Square Arena

I do happen to like Phil sounding loud and rockin' the bass on the only version of that performance out there. It's also a nice performance overall.
The Music Never Stopped

The Spectrum

This is a pretty nice version of the song, and what a great second half.
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Nov. 4, 1977
Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

This is a nice slower rendition of the tune.
The Other One
Nov. 12, 1971
San Antonio Civic Auditorium

I had no idea of this version until I stumbled upon it. Just finishing listening to the tune, it is a pretty nice rendition so it got a vote from me too.
