How can this one not be on here? This is what early Bertha should sound like! Check out Billy K...

Three Rivers Stadium

The very last time the Candyman came around. Also the last time I saw Jer, and I was right up front for this one.

Huge 80's LIG @ MSG. Really nice work from Weir. I'm surprised this one isn't ranked yet. Listen on 30 Days of the Dead from 2013

Szechuan Jerry...he's all sweet and hot on this one from the 30 Trips box. Spicy!

Uncle John's Band

Extremely powerful version, especially for a west coast, afternoon show! Not perfect, but pretty underrated, and the last time I got to see Brent :(

I gotta git doooowwwwn!!! Whoo! Jer gets on a freakin' TEAR on this one. Everyone else is pumpin' along just like they should be! Wow...this might be THE one...
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
July 12, 1989
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
June 4, 1970
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.

The Spectrum

This is the prototypical one for me. I wore this tape out back in the day. Whatchoo kids know about XLII's?!
