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!

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

RFK Stadium

This is a powerhouse version. The band was just smokin' 'em one after the other on this tour. Well jammed out, and with really committed guitar and vocal leads from Senor Garcia.
Midnight Hour

Fillmore West

I like this one too! Weir is a monster in the jam, whipping out lead lines alongside Jerry. Mountain Jam and China Cat hints lead back into a seamless reprise. Great stuff.
