Quite simply some of the best guitar interplay between Garcia and Weir ever!

a shorter version, but that frees it up to me more intense

Not Fade Away

Barton Hall - Cornell University
to me hands down (except for 11-7-71) best version. The most rockingest guitar Garcia every recorded - his leads rides the rhythm up and down up and down. But again its Keith's playing that is so spot on - as if he was finally comfortable holding down the rhythm - the interplay between him and Garcia is breathtaking, and all the while Phil is going nuts riding the bass. Feels like it will never end,

Most famous sure, but damn its hot. Contains my favorite transition between Scarlett and Fire, and I think the prettiest playing Keith every did. Sublime.

version from Hundred Year Hall release. Why I like it so much it is shorter - only 9 minutes - and with that length the band goes right into a prototypial Europe 72 style jam, heavy charging, this one is all energy then its over, little space. Love this one

Garcia's most intense in the zone playing, its just beautiful to listen to. Even the out of tune guitars dont get in the way. This version is breathtaking

to me the best, most psychedelic version of this song. The dumb break in the middle kills me every time. Lesh is all over the place
