cruelly overlooked encore to a classic show...hot jam section, reminiscent of '68...deserves to be heard

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This is still THE ONE. Who else but the Dead could play a slowed-down down-home deathhouse lament near the end of a day-long summer concert and manage to achieve a moment of such sublime psychedelic transcendence?

Definitive. There are more bombastic Dews, but none more beautiful

Knickerbocker Arena

One of those times where you gotta hear the AUD to fully appreciate it. Near the end of the second solo, it sounds (feels, really) like the entire arena is hitting a trip climax simultaneously. Then, "LAST..." The whole band hits it super hard. Gives my blood goosebumps
Candyman

Radio City Music Hall

Serious pathos when Jerry hits "hand me my old guitar..." Easily my favorite
