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.

Cumberland Blues

San Diego International Sports Arena

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?!
