Definitly the best one! The 1st 2 hours are a little plodding, but once the acid kicked in, it was smoooth sailing!

If a better board of this show had been circulating, this Bertha would be so much higher, and right into one of the best Good Lovins ever, Fall 77

Hey that dude near the top said that he loved 83 S>Fs with 4/20 Philly being his fav, he is talking about Philly 84 S>F just so ya know, and yes that one tis insane, and THIS ONE RIGHT HERE IS FUCKING INSANE. It's in Dick's top 5 S>Fs, if that means anything...

Keith is one of my favorite penists as well...
Estimated Prophet
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Bob prematurely ends the main solo AGAIN, back into 'My time come, anyday', Jerry and Branford were still Rollin and Bobby says NO, I want to sing now...
Turn On Your Love Light
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

While I totally love 8/6/71 Hollywood, this lovelight right here is unmatched, every note is pure artistry and Pigpen doesn't add a single line that doesn't need to be there, it is truly in my opinion among the top 10 single songs + jam that they ever laid down. At around the 9min and on mark the whole band lays into a groove that always reminded me of a steam engine chugging down the track...
Truckin'

Raceway Park

I don't know if anyone knows this but this song rose to #1 at the top of the charts in Turlock California and stayed there for a week or two!
