I Know You Rider

Fillmore West

Excellent stand-alone version, Jerry plays and sings a perfect tempo. Beautiful version, ethereal to say the least.

Black Peter

Civic Arena

Middle of the road show at best, but this Black Peter portrays a certain beautiful somber joy that just clicks along with the very slow tempo

One of the all-time great Big Rivers

Frankly, I was quite surprised upon seeing this one had yet to be posted. A seamless and absolutely sick version

Garcia plummets deep to the final climax, a fairly quick but power packed rendition

This is my hands-down favorite M&MU. Garcia's hook into his solo pierces ice. Just love the fills provided by all. Perfect rendition of one of my favorite Dead cowboy songs.

Outstanding....Period

There is no Bertha played on this date. I think your confusing this with the 2/5/78 version on DP 18, which has already been posted.

Charged, and absolutely ripping final jam. They push the limit of whats possible shredding wise in this song, and possibly escape the stratosphere of what they thought was possible in the first place. This is what 78' gives you, super high energy, super high intensity jamming.
