U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
June 4, 1978
Campus Stadium - University Of California

Another amazing version from ’78, close second to Durham when Garcia’s belts out the final “My O My’s”

Not Fade Away
June 4, 1978
Campus Stadium - University Of California

The revving Harley out of “Space” to the beat of NFA makes this version fun and unique and it also shreds, Garcia is clearly having a blast.

Deal
May 6, 1978
Patrick Gymnasium - University of Vermont

This version get ridiculous at the end, all three are just screaming “Don’t You Let That Deal Go Down”

Not Fade Away
June 25, 1978
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Very aggressive version, smoking into out of space, the GDTR that follows is equally hot, give it a listen.

Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

The Cryptical Reprise is absolutely stunning, and again this whole show could be nominated, Dick’s Picks Vol. 4, listen again and vote.

Stagger Lee
May 7, 1979
Allan Kirby Field House

2nd set Stagger Lee, well sung nicely jammed out, one of the best of ’79 for sure.
Sugar Magnolia
Aug. 10, 1982
Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Was on this tour, Kansas City, St Paul & Alpine Valley, (Dicks Picks #32) but didn't go to the last show in Iowa City, one of the best Sugar Mags out there. Major Phil bombs and a real nice call and response during Sunshine Daydream, Bobby wailing away and Jerry with a pure lick. Very tasty, check it out and turn up the bass.
Visions of Johanna
March 19, 1986
Hampton Coliseum

The breakout, loved this 3-night run at Hampton, a break-out each night. Great version of Visions of Johanna, faintly remembering the Dylan version, we all tried in vain to sing the lyrics.
Visions of Johanna
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

I was at the first break-out of Visions in Hampton in 86’ and this ’95 version is equally great, well sung by Garcia. One highlight from the last year.
That Would Be Something
Sept. 25, 1991
Boston Garden

The first one, great into by Hornsby, following Garcia lead. Dick’ Pick Vol 17 and the only one I know, don’t listen too much beyond the Hornsby years, will have to give the 93’ versions a listen.
