Dark Star

Fillmore West

Honestly, not the most exploratory or brain melting Dark Star of all time, but you can never go wrong with a version from '69. (30 Days of Dead)

The Music Never Stopped

Winterland Arena

I was ready to submit this one myself if I didn't find it. This an absolutely ripping, face melting peak from Jerry. Damn.

on an underrated May 77 show
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

This is an incredibly energetic, passionate rendition. The segue is also buttery smooth
Not Fade Away

The Scope

I couldn't agree more, silverlightV100. THe sleeper picks often represent awesome, unique moments
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

During the pre China Cat jam you can hear the members of the band literally fighting musically on stage. After the conclusion of the track titled "Jam (1)" on Dick's Picks, Bob and Phil clearly try to direct the band into the beginning of the song, but Jerry refuses, pushing and pushing everyone into deeper waters with his passionate solos. Eventually the others submit to his will, but FINALLY, around 3:45, Bobby forces them into the song proper. I'm not convinced they would have ever reached it otherwise
