Absolutely outstanding Garcia, a couple moments made my jaw drop

I dig this one, Garcia plays some longer, watery lines that get the job done in a satisfying way

Just listen to the Wolf--funky, dirty, sort of countrified--a unique and powerful version

This is a par version, I'd say. The one from Jan. 10 is much better. Great show, but there are a few numbers in the first set that are par (nothing below par) and this is one of them.

This is so great, maybe as good as it gets post-hiatus

Well I dig this one, sure. It has a ton of energy. Jerry spends most of the solo on chordal stuff which is heavy and nice, but for top ranking I need a little more note-playing stuff.

This is indeed a really good one. Don't think I'd say top 5, but maybe.

I like this about as much as any Ship of Fools....there may be a better one, but I can't think of what it is
