The Palladium

Bobby belts it, Keith slides in perfect synchronicity. Don't miss the surprise " Johnny B. Goode" parts Garcia throws in.

In the transition in from "Wheel," you can hear some of the ideas Garcia brings into his solos during the mid- and late- May "TOO"s

The chords and initial drum beat said "NFA," the the groove kept saying "Iko."

Standing On The Moon

Madison Square Garden

Loved it, but wished Jerry could have taken more extended lines and played with Branford more.

Madison Square Garden

Great version, stellar musicians.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

One of the most musically interesting things I've ever heard them do. It is wonderful to see what they can do with incredible musicians.
El Paso

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

No worries, djchall, I wasn't being sarcastic. It's Prankster Dead at its finest, and it's why that transition is all time.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Obviously a contender for a top spot, but I give it my vote because of how Winterland sounds here, and how they sound in it.
