Nassau Coliseum

This song was usually played quite well in the 90's. This one is huge at 9 mins with a hot final jam!

Tighten up sequence right into the Jam! One major aspect that makes this DS heady!

This song became one of their best songs since Jer starting reprising the "Be with you'" in 1993. This one is killed too.

Almost every song had a little extra over these 2 days.

Milwaukee Performing Arts Center

This is a tremendous version. It sticks with focused theme for the first 13 minutes and then first verse. A chill DS theme continues on and then they start exploring at the 16 minute mark. It then gets out there for the last 8 minutes.
Wharf Rat
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Coming in at over 14 minutes you could all this Morning Rat or Wharf Dew....I would have no issues with this being top 5...I do love the 77 New Mexico version, tho.
Wharf Rat

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

This deserves some serious upvote! Garcia doesn't crush it...he fuckin kills it! Definitely in conversation of best ever!
