Wave to the Wind

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Good early version. I like the more complicated changes in 1992, almost seems like they were trying for an Eyes-feel.

The Other One
Feb. 24, 1992
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

One of the stronger late-era versions. Split across Drums (with a third jam segment before). What's not to like?

I'm surprised this early version hasn't been mentioned. Very loose, and builds nicely to the Other One.

Eternity
March 25, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

From a pretty solid first set, this is a stand-out version of Eternity with Bruce Hornsby: worth a listen.

Deal
Aug. 4, 1994
Giants Stadium

In the midst of a lackluster set (and show, and tour) this is a great version. Not as explosive, but well explored, with several intricate parts.

Cream Puff War

Fillmore Auditorium

Incredible high-octane version.
Midnight Hour
Nov. 19, 1966
Fillmore Auditorium

For my money this is *the* version of Midnight Hour, and also encapsulates the great spirit of the Acid Test-era Dead.
The Music Never Stopped
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Also surprised that this doesn't have more votes. When I was getting into tape trading I always used to hear this one touted as the "best Music ever," like it was a foregone conclusion.
Comes A Time
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

Great version: emotional, and unexpected in the first set out of Bird Song.
Cassidy
Dec. 6, 1980
Mill Valley Recreation Center

Yes, it's a unique show! Right before this one of the kids yells out "Rock n Roll!" Garcia responds, "Well, this is kind of like rock n roll..."
