Meandering outro jam into drumz that picks up steam right at the end.

A high energy version with NFA following. 20 minutes of Bobby madness!

Surprised no mentions yet. A long, jazzy, spacey version from a real good show.

Interesting version. Emerges out of space, steve miller joins in. Beginning is a Smokestack tease, Phil rolling thunder other1 follows.

Love how Jerry's acoustic tone echoes throughout MSG on the first few notes. This is a blistering version!!

Terrapin Station

Giants Stadium

A great version which follows a So Many Roads. This is a really underrated show from the Jerry side of things. He's really on this night. A real lengthy Bird Song in the 1st set. So Many Roads>Terrapin and a beautiful SOTM in the 2nd.

Carolina Coliseum - University of South Carolina

I think this version doesn't get the love because it is set inside of a brief, odd-ball Halloween show. But this is a real tight and raunchy version. My favorite for sure.
Terrapin Station

Winterland Arena

I know that it's tough competition in the category of '77 Terrapin, but the soaring Alhambra jam makes this one my favorite of the year.

This is why we love Donna Jean so much! Outstanding version. Only the Bettyboard and/or 30 Days 2012 versions do her performance justice, listen to no others.
The Wheel
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

When it comes to The Wheel, so much depends on the quality of the intro and/or outro. This extended version with Jerry's flute-effect is one of a kind intro. Beautiful
