A great vesion from ’71 with a unique Darkness Darkness transition jam after the “We bid you Goodnight” coda. Very deep, spiritual interplay.

A Major Break-Out, you must hear the crown reaction, none of the '83 versions really stand out, but this needs to be heard.

Great version from a great show, I love how Jerry growls the “Last fair deal…” line great stuff, foreshadowing the Werewolves to come.

The first time I saw Aiko Aiko, great singing by Garcia, clearly having a blast. RPI is an underrated show, with many, many highlights.

Dark Star

Fillmore West

Glad this one is in the top three, it surly is the most listened to version, being on Live Dead. It’s great to have it in the context of the show now, always love the transition from Mountain on the Moon> Dark Star.
Satisfaction
July 7, 1986
RFK Stadium

This was the only time I saw anything like Weir’s band introduction, and then Jerry chiming in with “One of my favorite people in the whole wide world, Mr Bob Weir!” It is a classic moment in a not well played show and has my vote as a top Satisfaction. I have had this tape since the show, on the D5scott version at archieve.org the Yea! Yea! when they decide to play Satisfaction is me.

Glad we can agree, if there is a better one, with Jerry having more fun than this version, I need to hear it.

Ya, my levels went through the roof, Powerful version even without the "divine" intervention.
Truckin'

Broome County Arena

This one would be voted much higher if we had a better tape. The sweat was dripping of the ceiling, 2 for 2 with Binghamton Truckin's
