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

Fillmore West

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

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

Very good. Keith and Phil and Jerry are also laying down some mean music

One more "Vote" for this amazing version. A little bit of '73 goodness in this super-trippy '72 Star <3
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 10, 1972
Concertgebouw

Very unique China Cat. Jammed-out between the verses. Slower, groovier, mellower. Some nice vocal stylings from Mr. Garcia. Transition into Rider is nothing special.

Yeah, Phil is a madman on this
