And We Bid You Goodnight
Aug. 21, 1968
Fillmore West

About 3 minutes before Alligator ends, there is a really aggressive run through we bid you goodnight.

Mountain Jam
Aug. 21, 1968
Fillmore West

15.5 minutes after Alligator begins, or at the 5:00 mark of the 2nd "Alligator" there is a mountain.

Mountain Jam
Dec. 12, 1980
Swing Auditorium

It's just one "First there is a mountain, then there is a mountain and then there is" in the CCS>IKYR transition.

The 2nd solo is great. Nothing never heard before, but constructed perfectly.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 14, 1981
Hartford Civic Center

I like several at the top of this list, but this has been my go to china rider for the last six months. This one is crystal clear, with Jerry playing loud and out in front, even though it's an AUD. It's one of the clearer audience recordings I know.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

I see that there were only 10 half steps in 1979. This one is not as good as its cousin 10/28 (which is cerebral, 13 and a half minutes and sounds like the summer), but there's a pretty nice peak after rio grandeo.

Cape Cod Coliseum

I totally agree. I saw what excess said, knew what that meant and went straight to it. An awesome meandering summertime on either side of rio grandeo. Too bad the original recommendation was mute on the sweet ethereal jams herein.

William and Mary College Hall

This was great - Garcia tears it up throughout and then eats his guitar post rio grandeo.

Springfield Civic Center

The second and third solos are off the hook. If you can handle some '85 roughness, this one brings heat.
