This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

B O M B s! That may sound of character but I'm talking about the ones we all love. Triumphant version with lots of Phil.

The morning dew that keeps on giving and giving. Everyone is feeling it.

The only way to close one of the greatest shows ever, is with this Phil-bomb-laden version of Dew.

The Spectrum

The acid jazzgrass is amazing. Veneta or Spectrum it's tough to pick one. If you're in the mood for a teeth grinder you go with Veneta if you want a psychedelic bluegrass jam band to take you away then it's 9/21. My choice is this one overall.
