Shocked that this hasn't been listed! Great energy with some decimating lines from Jerry and Bobby is screaming his big ol heart out. Great version.

Jerry and Bobby create a beautiful space before TOO. A conversation in strings. Billy and Mickey create primal, carnivorous music. Hunting music.

What a crown jewel Pretty Peggy O can be. A truly tender version that washes away all my worries. These 74 versions are quite special.

The Dead take the Parisians through a cowboys surrealist day dream. Check out how both Keith and Jerry are utterly locked into the music.

Blossoms and blooms like a shining red rose. I really love the energy for this show.

Just plain fun. As a show opener, this sets the tone for the entire show quite nicely. Big River is one of my favorite tunes that they do and when they get it right, it's an utterly brilliant showcase of the bands musicianship. We also get THREE Jerry solo's that comes crashing in like a riptide. Jangly, rockin', and loose. Everything a Big River should be.

Gun slinging Jerry is my favorite Jerry. Phil also happens to be all over this one, adding the perfect backdrop for when they enter the barroom and order drinks for all. Jerry is a truly deadly picker on this one, with each lick you can hear gunshots ricochet past your head. Will never get enough of this version. Bright and full of pure energy.

Duane and the Dead. Cannot get better than this. Duane soars like an eagle, showing the true definition of a trailblazer. He plays through the changes with such vigor and confidence, especially when they hit the turnaround, Duane knew exactly where to take the music. Hadn’t listened to this one in a while and it really makes me happy hearing Duane so clearly on this. Awesome, awesome version with infectious energy.

Gets into some serious The Eleven territory but never quite reaching the actual melody, but it does leave a lot to the imagination. You can hear the hard hitting beat being laid down by the rhythm devils that make The Eleven so special. A post hiatus Eleven certainly could’ve been possible especially since St Stephen got repurposed. It would’ve gone cosmic and spacey, wouldn’t have happened often due to the intricacy of the tune, but that’s why we have Help>Slip. But enough of the “what ifs” it’s fun to theorize but at the end of the day, we have an absolutely transcendent Truckin jam that goes into a rhythmic frenzy. Awesome version with Jerry once again showing how incredible of a musician he is to play on top of and lead this swirling jam.

This is what I imagine entering through a black hole must feel/sound like. Soundwaves of pure destruction and a total annihilation of any and all senses. Very extraterrestrial in nature. Antimatter music. Jerry plays his own devil's trill sonata at the end, attempting to play what the devil showed him in his dream. The transition into Playin' is the stuff of LEGENDS.
