One of the best stand-alone versions IMO, this one gets quite extended for such an early version, with a jam that flows and peaks.

Providence Civic Center

Ok so it's no 6/28/74, but this one holds its own. Real nice playing that gets pretty deep into that freaky-jazzy stuff they do oh so well

Absolutely gorgeous version, one of the best of the period.

Excellent version. Garcia's playing is sharp and jazzy, and Phil is laying into it with some nice bombs. Smooth segue into a great Other One jam

Jazzy Other One with a really nice segue out of Spanish jam.

This is actually 12/18/73. But good version none the less.

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Easily one of the best of the '80s. How is this not more well known!?

Indeed this is underrated. Fantastic version.

This is a good one. Feb '73 Eyes have a unique vibe since they are still working out the ending.

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

This is possibly the highest energy version you'll ever hear, moving at Warp 10 (at least) with some MONSTER Garcia shred-age and huge power chords. Stunning.
