Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Heavy (and long) drums, short space, > Dark Star, but it sounds like they stay in Space for the monster post-verse 2 jam.

the mystical oneness of all great jams, deep down
Playin' In The Band
June 16, 1974
Iowa State Fairgrounds

This one takes the plunge. Serious exploration.
Big River
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

I rarely pass over these late '73 Big Rivers on the way to the Big Jams, and this is a great example why. Everything cooks, and Bobby especially is adding a lot. Plus the BR-flavored jam late in the Dark Star ties the set together beautifully.
Tennessee Jed
Dec. 16, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Whoo! Great version.
China Cat Sunflower
June 8, 1969
Fillmore West

This whole first set is very good.
