Good version sandwiched between HCS and the big jam suite...

Seems like this show needs more love around here...a few high vote-getters, but the whole thing rocks

This song is awesome in '73, and this one is no exception!

Uncle John's Band
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Such a soothing (pre-OMSN) finish to this epic, Top 5 show of all time. Jerry does some really cool stuff during the 7/4 section.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

This version of this oft-played sandwich is better than most, that's for sure. Bubbling over with euphoric energy, driving home one of the best shows ever in style.
Sugar Magnolia

Musikhalle

Faster than most! Some great tambourine work during the solo as well...
Morning Dew
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

One of my favourite versions -- tempo and dynamics are just right, which is more important than "shreddiness" to me when it comes to Dew. And as others have said, it's one that really benefits from Pig's organ filling the gaps in the soundscape.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Musikhalle

Some funny banter after this one
