I mean yeah it's squeezed between Terrapin and Werewolves in this legendary triple encore, but full of '78 energy

The Music Never Stopped

Riverfront Arena

wow, really cool moment 4 minutes in you're spot on. got that '76 laidback feel with a very unique middle jam
The Other One
Aug. 23, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Love how they play with the MAMU beat at about 10:45 into the Road Trips version, get real real hot and then slip into the actual tune and out again. An incredible version that's very comparable in my book to the more highly lauded 8/6 MAMU sandwich
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Madison Square Garden

This outro jam is as good as any other jam I've ever heard this band play from 1965 to 1995. I'm speechless.
He's Gone
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

Not too familiar with late 80s Dead but this sure as hell is more heady than the meager 4 votes it's got now. Will change when Dave's 36 is released. Although, the audience recording is wonderful with a very enthusiastic crowd cheering the boys on - Jerry in particular. And this outro jam!!!!
