Shocked this version isn't posted Garcia doesn't want to quit and the vocal harmonies are as good as it gets.

It's possible there are 73-74 versions that don't belong on the list but this is defenitly not one of them.

Garcia really feeling it and one of the few where he mentions the original "Susie"

Thought this nice jazzy 73 piece would be ranked closer to the top.
St. Stephen

Barton Hall - Cornell University
Not one of the Barton Hall snob type haters but this wasn't even a good version for a year that wasn't close to the best for the song.

Family Dog at the Great Highway
Both versions you posted will do.I don't do those best years or best run arguments much, 66-78 all has too much that is transcendant, but if I want to feel happy I go right to any late 69 or 70 accoustic set.Oh and there is great stuff after 78 it just isn't as frequent IMO.
I Know You Rider
May 1, 1970
Alfred College
All the 70s accoustic stuff is wonderful the Riders in particular.
