Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

This Spanish Jam building out of Space on the heels of a MASSIVE thunder and lightning storm is absolutely breathtaking. Best of the '90s.

Mind Left Body Jam

Portland Memorial Coliseum

I argue this chunk of music containing the MLB jam after Truckin' is some of the best music the Grateful Dead have ever played. Bar none

About as heavy an emotional delivery as you'll ever get. This one digs DEEP.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

'87 is full of tight versions, but this is about as rock solid as they come. Roaring climax!

This one is a real tear jerker. Some of the most soulful singing I’ve ever heard.

Easily one of the best. High energy and A+ execution. A good version to quiet the naysayers!!
China Doll

Knickerbocker Arena

Seriously this is a very beautiful, emotional China Doll. A must listen
Terrapin Station
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Wow how is this not ranked in the Top 5? Amazing Terrapin here.
The Other One
July 25, 1972
Paramount Theater

The jam passage in the middle of this make it truly unique, and one of the best pieces of improvisational jamming during one of their strongest years. With hints of what sounds like the Weather Report intro and GDTRFB, St. Stephen and even Samson...it’s an amazing thing.
