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

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

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?

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

Let Me Sing Your Blues Away

Nassau Coliseum

Great version! Gonna be on Dave’s Picks 38; the first live version officially released?
Dark Star
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This version is exceptional! The first part before El Paso is nicely played and jammed out, and the seamless transition into El Paso is something only the Dead could do! The El Paso is very good; one of my favorites of Bobby’s “cowboy songs.” The Dark Star jam after it scared me the first time I listened to it, which is a win in my books.
Eyes Of The World
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

This is probably my favorite Eyes. The opening notes with Garcia’s lush tone, Phil’s bass, and Billy’s drums always get me. It’s nice and long and jammed out. Great version!

Giants Stadium

I remember when I was first getting into the Dead I would play this version a lot once I got into their live stuff. This version is really great. This, in my opinion, is one of my favorite eras because of Vince and Bruce. They both play so nicely, and the sound was very full. Overall, this is a very good Eyes. Glad they started playing it slower!
Cryptical Envelopment

Greek Theater

Bust-Outs are always fun(imho) and this Cryptical is great. Wish they jammed them out, but having it sandwiched with Drums>Space>The Other One from this era is nice.
