My first one. Missed the bustouts at Hampton '89 and RFK '90, but this one was huge...actually, the whole show was pretty colossal!

Jerry just nails this version to the wall coming out of a sick Eleven Jam. This one is special.

Okay, the Alligator's kinda short, but I nominate the entire Alligator>Drums>Eleven Jam because it hasn't been talked about on here. Smokin'.

Towering Dew. Jerry just emotes all over the place! The Ripple gets all the love from this night, but the Dew is the climax and the real highlight.

Turn On Your Love Light
May 24, 1969
Seminole Indian Village

This might seriously be the one, you guys. 29 minute opener to go with the 30 minute Lovelight they closed with the night before! Pig is in top form, and the boys are right with him. Plus that unexplainable 1969 energy and SOUND...Complete Road Trips indeed! This should be ranked "jus' a lil' bit HIGHER!!!"

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Wow! That was...muscular. Phil and Jer doin' some FLEXIN'!!! The Roger Eichorn matrix on the archive is the tits.
Viola Lee Blues

Fillmore West

This one closes out the weekend @ Fillmore West with the Miles Davis Quintet opening. What I wouldn't give to have been there. Fully jammed out version.
