Here's where the bus came by for me. My first show...every note is burned into my brain!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Giants Stadium

Sick extended jaminess reminds us how much of a kick in the ass Hornsby gave Jerry

Bob really belts it out on this relatively early version. WAS THAT SOME KINDA JOKE?!? Awesome...Zimmy would be proud.

Sugaree

Mature Sugaree from an underrated NYE show. Jerry's voice is so expressive and Brent finally has his part dialed on the B3.

Garcia really heats this one up.
Doin' That Rag
April 23, 1969
The Ark

Jerry gives this one just that little extra effort...vocally, but on the jam as well.
Sing Me Back Home
April 17, 1971
Dillon Gym

I really dig the pre-Godchaux versions...no piano, tight(er) harmonies. Stripped down like I'd imagine Merle intended.
Playin' In The Band
April 6, 1989
Crisler Arena

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.
