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

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

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 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.
