This one has more of an Other One-ish feel than most...they seem like they're pushing for it but end up going in a completely different direction

One of the best mellow blues versions...killer noodles from Jerry

Very graceful playing on this one, gets kind of spacey leading up to a smooth as butter transition into Dark Star.

Killer jam out of this Truckin' with a huge peak that gives way to some fast-paced space-jazz from Jerry, and landing on a quick little mellow MLBJ

Beautiful, mellow version. Garica's tone is especially sweet, with an almost country-ish flavor; sounds like he's using a bit of slide?

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!!
