This one is just ridiculously good. Jerry's solo is fantastic, and the band is on all the way through.

Another one of those "not sure why it's" great versions. The Philly crowd singalong is great too!

It's amazing to think that in a matter of only 10 days the Dead produced 3 of their most mind -numbing jams. This one being maybe the best.

Jai-Alai Fronton

Simply one of the best sequences ever. Phil's bass during the Spanish jam is the sound that acid makes.

Keith's awesome here but Bobby's guitar makes this one for me.

Pacific Coliseum

Definitely a Dark Star jam space. So very excellent.

Not sure what they did during d/s but they came back with razor focus.
