Greatest Story Ever Told
July 4, 1989
Rich Stadium

Great modern day version.
Deep Elem Blues
May 1, 1970
Alfred College

This one is a beaut.
Caution
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

FYI... this show that should be in everyone's top 10 is 25% off at dead.net. It includes an amazing analysis of the 46 minute DS that is spot on and helps with understanding all the themes of the epic DS. This Caution is one of the best, also.
Doin' That Rag
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West

This one is a classic from a classic show.

This DS is not for everyone. I do believe that it requires multiple listens to really respect how complex it is with its multiple themes. I can see after one listen that it may not be for everyone. It does deserve respect in GD lore, though. The first 13 minutes is pure DS theme.
