Sugar Magnolia
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

There's something a little different with Jerry's soloing in this Sugar Mag. A little more buoyant or something. Idk I love it
Deal
July 29, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

I see this version as the basis for the monster year of Deal in 89. Long, raucous outro jam...what a rocking way to end a first set
Believe It Or Not
July 29, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

I would always skip over this song until I heard this version--captivating.
The Eleven
Feb. 21, 1969
Dream Bowl

Don't know how I'm just discovering this gem, but starting at 13:20 Jerry just GOES OFF. Dear lord! Charge your pacemaker before listening!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 20, 1991
Oakland Coliseum Arena

One of the danker 91 versions I've heard
