One of the finest without a doubt...Jerry is full of epicness on this evening

There's nothing like the Good Ole Hyper-Experimental Grateful Dead. Some heavy heady vicious stuff here.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Another surprising no-show to this point...this one is classic. Jerry is owning it

I think I mixed up the dates. 8/6/74 and 8/4/76 are both beyond epic, but I think my description on 8/6 version is more apt for THIS version. So laid back, yet non-stop hard-hitting exhilaration. Only the Dead...
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

Wavy GraVy of course is what I meant

Worthy. Slow, sinister grooving' intro, Phil means business. This show might be the filthiest funkiest grungiest groovinest show from top-to-bottom the boys (and girl) ever did

Truly fun. I tried explaining the irony of the Stayin' Alive tease to my Russian roommate, to no avail. The teases throughout really are spectacularly fun. No better word. This show is pretty unbelievable, by the way. A romp, indeed.

Fair enough: My opinion is this: Jack Straw is a classic song and there are many beautiful shades to the song throughout the years, and as such there are many incredible versions to dig. Much love back. "We can share it..."
