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

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

Fillmore West

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

Madison Square Garden

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

Playin' In The Band

Swing Auditorium

I keep coming back to this one. Veneta may be the "best" PITB ever, but I think this one is my "favorite." The meltdown before THE WHEEL is a classic moment, up there with Wembley '72 Dark Star -> Sugar Mags
The Wheel

Swing Auditorium

Best WHEEL. Best Keith+ Donna WHHEL. I keep coming back to this one! Phil drops bombs. Truly a sing-along in the car version. <3 <3 <3

New Haven Coliseum

This one is really unique. They really stretch-out here.
Not Fade Away
Dec. 31, 1990
Coliseum Arena

This one is very, very good. Branford Marsalis joins in about half-way through.
