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.

Oh wow. A jam opening up the second set leading into Jack a Roe? This version is oddly psychedelic in the best way. Great groove from the Rhythm Devils as well, allowing Jerry to set course and venture out into deep blue waters. Great subtle interplay from the band. Do not miss out on the jam that starts this all! Dripping in electric lysergic ooze. Jerry with Wolf incredibly dangerous.

Please show this one more love. Veneta is so awesome and is one of my favorite versions of this song, this one takes you through the celestial hall of the ancients. Through the spacetime continuum you go. Stellar version that 100% gets my upvote.

Absolutely soars through the sky. Deserves a TON more love. 8/25 deservedly has more votes but there is a lot to love about this version. Jerry's phrasing is very clear and genuinely bird like. Veneta is a great show, but the run of shows before are really where it's at in my opinion.

I really need to immerse myself in this run of shows. A beautiful demented early 70s Dark Star that explores fungal infested terrain. This one feels haunted, a very freeform exploratory version that covers a whole bunch of themes. A beautiful display of Avant Garde musicianship from the boys on this one. Watch out for that glorious harmonious jam near the end that hints at MLB and then falls into Feelin' Groovy. I'll call this one 4/8/72's distant cousin from across the pond. Seriously love that first jam before the first verse. Leaves a lot of room for themes to explore later on. Highly recommend. PS:Small China Cat tease near the end before the last verse? let me know if anyone hears that or if I'm digging too deep lol

I’m very partial towards 77-79 for my Dancin’s, but even this version is groovy. The transition out of Dark Star is sick and Jerry’s rhythm playing is awesome as well.
