Keith is fantastic throughout - gives this version the same vibe as some of Garcia/Saunders explorations during the same time period. Fun listen. #50

They Love Each Other

Frost Amphitheatre

Sure there’s a couple lyric flubs, but Jerry delivers in a slight trippy fashion during this loping version. Love it

Proudly submit this version. That Dusborne matrix gives this superb depth of sound. Brent’s Hammond solo is lively and strong, and Jerry’s lightning.

Cardinal Stadium

Surprised this one hasn’t been submitted already. Raucous version with Brent getting weirdly psychedelic for his calypso-like solo

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Ohio Theatre

Definitely my favorite and sooooo unique. Love this transition jam. Should be #1.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 28, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

Had to upvote this version! Still on fire from the night before the boys take this transition jam DEEP and Phil drops bombs all over the place...the Cape has to be shakin’
Truckin'
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

I think it’s unfortunate that people segment this Truckin’ so much...I am upvoting based on everything “between” Truckin’> Truckin’ all being part and parcel of said version of the song.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 15, 1983
Civic Center

This version should be much higher up there! Maybe it’s the tempo that doesn’t catch folks as much, because it’s played very fast, but Jerry hits so many crystalline melody lines in every jam segment that it needs to be heard!!!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

My goal is to try and rally enough folks to close the gap between this and #1
