Sweet, powerful latter-day version on a hot afternoon on the soccer field at Cal State.

Why isn't this rager on here yet?! Maybe not as long as some, but full of that early Dead energy that we love so much!

Garcia really heats this one up.
Doin' That Rag

The Ark

Jerry gives this one just that little extra effort...vocally, but on the jam as well.

I really dig the pre-Godchaux versions...no piano, tight(er) harmonies. Stripped down like I'd imagine Merle intended.

Jerry is on his '72 wah-wah shit here. Long and jammy. And the transition to BTL is sweet and subtle. I really think they rediscovered hardcore psychedelia in '89.
