I know, I know you can't pick Ithica for everything, but this is one of the best versions ever.

West High Auditorium

Right out of the chutes, no warm-up high octane Dead. Cool Brent solo drives into a MANIC Jerry jam.
Comes A Time

War Memorial

Hell yeah this is the top performance of this beautiful song. It's outstanding.
Bird Song

Hershey Park Stadium

Kicks off a triplet of Garcia songs. This version is smooth and transitions sweetly into Comes a Time. Beautiful.
New Minglewood Blues

Swing Auditorium

I love Jerry's run up the neck to start the 2nd solo. And Keith's got the honky tonk keys going on. Like it!

Vote here for Brent's solo alone. Great stuff.
