Cafe au Go-Go

OK, this is really a submission for the following Seven jam. But that on its own should make this the most popular Rag.

Springfield Civic Center

The way every member weaves together in Jerry's second solo is so perfect it seems pre-orchestrated. Pristine.

Spanish Jam
Dec. 3, 1981
Dane County Coliseum

that pre-Truckin' lick shows up on most '81 versions, see 8/12 and 9/27 for example. Jerry even gives a half-assed attempt on 12/7! On a side note, great Spanish Jam
St. Stephen
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

that sound brent does in fall '79 makes for the funkiest stuff he ever did. it's in full throttle during the transition for those not familiar
Truckin'
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

This is just great. Transition to Nobody's Fault is perfect
