Dancin' in the Streets

The Matrix

Questionable date, but unquestionably amazing. A great classic jam with a near-perfect recording for the time. A++

Morning Dew

Club Agora

Rough AUD, but showcases a brilliant and intense buildup enhanced by what sounds like a Hammond B3. Deserves a cleanup, as much of 11.70 does.

The Palestra, U. of Rochester

Beautiful jam here, with some great Jerry fuzztone soloing.

Nice warm AUD for the era, with a sparkling CCS and great transition into IKYR.

Anderson Theatre

Whether it's the 16th or the 23rd, it's a real humdinger. Perfect transition out of Truckin'.

Shows that the Dead could turn any song they wanted to into vast sonic explorations of their own musical cosmos. I don't say "favourite" or "best", because I can't define these terms), but damn though it's one sweet nice ride, this one.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Civic Center

Gets hotter and hotter for nearly 15 minutes of bliss.
