2nd to Greek'84 for '80s fallback versions to me. Jerry's solo just does it.

Come on. Great version. Jers solo makes it for me.

The 2nd set gets all the attention but this first set was something on its own.
Mind Left Body Jam
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

As stated, it's much more than just a MLB jam. But in that, its great. In a matter of 1 week the boys played my favorite 2 jams, Boston and Miami. Arguably, this is their best jam sequence ever. Think about that.
The Other One
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Should be much higher. The intro segment has the band extending and playing around with crowd. Phil fakes his thunder roll several times then holds back until it's absolutely ready to go. Tons of energy here. It's part of of a trippy and very well-played 2nd set.
Brokedown Palace

Ventura County Fairgrounds

Beautiful. Music and vocals are spot on. It doesn't get better.
