Not going to dethrone Veneta by any means but still a worthwhile spacey, concise, chilled out rendition. Some nice melodic chord jamming from Garcia.

Was surprised to see this wasn't already here. Phenomenal solo from Jerry and some beautiful cascading keys courtesy of Keith

Playin' In The Band
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

^^^I do that when checking out a new version as usually the body of the playin' is nothing new. But when I'm listening to Veneta or any other classic monster that I'm already familiar with I let it play out as I enjoy the setup of the song into the meld into the jam

Roosevelt Stadium

Man I used to think this one was overrated. Listened to this probably 3 or 4 times last night. When even Donnie skips being a hater you know that you've got yourself a performance.

A cruise through space eh.... will make note to listen to this one. Truckin... down to the kuiper belt

Olympia Theater

Great rec on this one ds67. These condensed e72 versions are very no-bullshit, straight to the punch. Love Keith's descending lines on playin as well
Dark Star

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Fucking amazing. The tighten up is simply transcendent. Sometimes this band will make you feel completely free from all ails and stressors, and this star is a pristine example of that. Makes me feel like I'm blissfully flying away from everything that is negative in life
