U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Samson and Delilah
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Winterland Arena

Surprised not to find this here.

The Golden Road (to unlimited devotion)
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Dark Star

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

This is really one beautiful piece of a diadem sequence. Best appreciated in context.
Eyes Of The World
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

I second the above completely. Make sure to check out some of the other awesome versions so this doesn't become a runaway freight train of up votes (looking at you, 05-08 S > F).
Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Also a nice video of this is up on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri7o3XwLUmo
Dark Star

Madison Square Garden

Worth a bump. This gets pretty far out there, and there's a lot of great interplay. Better than the other, more famous Branford show that's been re-released lately?
Dark Star
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

This is the most organic sounding Dark Star. It grows out of tuning into a jam into space into the verse and feedback and subsequent jams without hesitation.
