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.

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

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.

Amazing soaring and melodic jamming!! Best of '76? It gets my vote!

One of my favorites, very unique jam.

Assembly Hall - Indiana University

Wonderful outro, with a *seamless* transition from the triumphant sounding jam of WR back to the space-jazz jamming of Playin' reprise.

Amazing, triumphant jamming. One of the most powerful versions ever played.
