Surprised this isn't listed yet. This version is by far the best with the horns, with Jerry and Martin really getting into it with some fiery leads!

Monster reprise, one of the longest and best ever.

Roosevelt Stadium

Unusual and fiery version making up the meat of an otherworldly Playin' sandwich.

Without question, the best Crypt reprise ever performed. This one reaches the limits of space and time.

Cow Palace

First ever Scarlet Begonias. Very unusual sound with a very tentative, bluesy feel, but it's still a keeper and worth hearing for the novelty at least

astonishing, otherworldly jamming and interplay on this version, Jerry, Keith, and Bob going absolutely insane. A++

Fairly short but very nice version with jazzy Garcia leads and beautiful interplay with Keith.

Absolutely mesmerizing version. The main ten theme is jammed out during the reprise for all it's worth!!!

This surprised the hell out of me. A very energetic, yet spacey and jazzy rendition with a reprise jam for the ages. Great stuff!!
