Nice and slow! It's like Garcia can't play a wrong note tonight! Some nice support from the full band at the climax (esp. Keith).

A bit faster than I usually prefer it, but this is probably one of the last versions with Donna that’s decent, if you prefer her harmonies to Brent’s.

Nice reading with extended solos from Garcia. His voice is a bit rough, but he's singing emotively.

Solid show opener (I can leave Weir's slide parts, though). Jerry's clearly having a good night.

Taking votes from a truly deserving version that's listed as a combo already, don't forget to tag it.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Taking votes from a truly deserving stand-along version, don't forget to tag it.
Dancin' in the Streets

Roosevelt Stadium

One of the darkest of these jams I've ever heard. You've never heard that outro material till you've heard it like this.
