This is guaranteed to get you on your feet, seriously fast, led by the drumming. As far as MAMU goes this is top drawer.

Scorching version before Willie Nelson, Phil stands out for me on this one

Beautiful playing, easy to see why this was included on DaP18

Lacks the familiar opening but Jerry's guitar playing is on fire, with a great contribution from Keith as well. Well worth a listen

Insanely good, my personal favourite - Jerry goes otherworldly. Scorcher

This and the one a year to the day are scorching.
Turn On Your Love Light

Honolulu Civic Auditorium

This is outstanding, nearly 40 mins on DaP19. Never a dull moment, great rap including a random guest appearance for a few minutes from an unknown voice, not a dull moment despite its incredible length! Should get much higher now the full version has been released
Not Fade Away

Orpheum Theatre

Great version, especially for a standalone. Should be higher IMO
Not Fade Away

Raceway Park

As soon as I heard this I knew it would be at the top on here. Unbelievable jamming, full throttle for 20 minutes, this is the Dead at their best. Absolutely nuts. This has got to be considered one of their best versions of any song in their repertoire. It's that good.
