Kings Beach Bowl

Dick's Picks 22 version, Lake Tahoe. Smooth as silk. Jerry plays fast and with a great tone. VERY fluid.

Autzen Stadium

Very hot. Long, jammed-out ending. Great stuff from Summer '90

Gimme Some Lovin'
June 15, 1985
Greek Theater

The entire show is PERFECTION, but you've got to hear the transition from Wheel into Gimme Some Lovin. They just nail it. Best version ever

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 5, 1970
Fillmore West

Very mellow version, almost an Island feel. A long, slow, jammed-out version. Tasty leads from Garcia. Electric with an acoustic feel.

Hell in a Bucket
Oct. 11, 1983
Madison Square Garden

A "Perfect" version. Drums, vocals, guitar leads, bass... everyone is on-point!

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Should be higher on this list. Better than the February and October versions. Sooo drippy
Nobody's Fault But Mine
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

Jerry is on fire. Lots of blistering leads. This Nobody's Fault is more developed than others you have heard.
Black Throated Wind
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

VERY HOT version of BT Wind in an otherwise lackluster show.
Picasso Moon
May 12, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Very hot version. Bruce and Vince propelling this one and hot leads from Garcia.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 1, 1979
Holleder Memorial Stadium

Hot stuff!
