Laguna Seca Raceway

Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Not Fade Away
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Sitting on Top of the World

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 19, 1991
Pine Knob

First off, listen to this in context of the whole "Stranger > Space > S > F." Sick jam. I've never really cared about Vince (I'm young), but he's contributing nicely. Nothing compared to Lesh, who seems to have a bone in his teeth, and plays some interesting lines right as the band moves to "Fire."
Victim Or The Crime

Pine Knob

I've never really cared about this song, to be honest, but this helped me get it. And the space is unreal.
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 11, 1969
Fillmore East

Is the date right on this? I didn't find anything on the archive...
Truckin'
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Absolutely. One of my new favorite shows. Any others you want to pitch? Our tastes align fairly often.
Sugar Magnolia
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

And listen to Keith bring the heat at the end! I had to double back to check this out again.
