One of the craziest, spaciest, and wacky versions you’ll ever hear

Winterland Arena

The final version from an epic China>Rider. Doesn’t get any better

The Keystone

One of the best versions of this song that Jerry did. There seems to be 2 guitar players on this track. Anyone have any info on that?

The Catalyst

Kevin Tobin just put out a nice video of this Garcia/Kahn show with great audio. I didn’t know they played this one as a duo. Great version!

Surprised this version isn’t on here. Bobby’s vocals and playing are great, and Brent’s verse and solo really make this a top tier version

Great version, but the version on Europe ‘72 is much better
Good Lovin'
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

This is a great Good Lovin’, definitely different from other Europe ‘72 versions. About halfway through, it starts to get spacey, with Phil and Pigpen playing around and having fun. Phil seemingly wants to get back to the main theme throughout the jam, but no one else is having it, until Phil finally coaxes everyone back down to Earth, and it explodes! Great version!
Dark Star
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

The Dark Star teases alone makes this a favorite show. Hornsby flirts with DS the entire show, but can’t quite score a date, though the attempts are well made, especially with Weir, Garcia, and everyone else’s help. Great show!
Chinatown Shuffle
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Keith’s solo is amazing on this version. Never paid too much attention to this song; what was I thinking!? Great show also
He's Gone
Dec. 5, 1979
Uptown Theater

This one might be my favorite. Jerry’s sweet vocals mixed with impeccable solos make this one incredible. The outro jam is very good as well, segueing into a spacey version of The Other One. Great version
