Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.

Capitol Theatre

A long time standby version - balanced recording and the group in full throat. Way to open with a showstopper, Hank!
St. Stephen
Feb. 5, 1969
Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium

To me, 1969 is the peak St. Stephen year. And 4 votes? It might not be top '69, but it's lush and blistering!
The Other One

Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium

I know there are lots of Other Ones out there, but 4 votes? This is better than probably 80% of the Other Ones in front of it. Searing.
The Other One

Lille Fairgrounds

Absolutely smokes like a pair of socks on fire that, because of the sheer heat and barometric pressure, starts a vast brush fire that threatens the good people of Peachknee. This is that good. Garcia + Strat = pxngflxKnvdoloo!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

Not sure the group ever had an easier time with this chamber of peril - just so decisive and clean and ticking, ticking, ticking.
