The jam during this blows me away every time. Pure psychedelic bliss. An argument could easily be made that this is the definitive version.

Easy Wind

Manhattan Center

Powerful and driving blues jam, with a unique ending. Garcia tears this one up, and Lesh provides a great hollow bass sound.

Nobody's Fault But Mine

U.C.

Off the rails, intense blues jamming.

Eyes Of The World

Orlando Arena

Relaxed, controlled, and tight. Garcia owns this one.

New Minglewood Blues
May 19, 1966
Avalon Ballroom

Insane early version. Weir goes off on the vocals, and there is some energetic old time Dead jamming.

Black Peter

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

I have to admit this show is solid end to end. This Black Peter is an excellent capper to a nailed 2nd set. Pristine version
Truckin'
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Way more energy than most. Absolutely scorching.
He's Gone
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Phenomenal version, Lesh makes this one.
Me and My Uncle
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Charged, Garcia's solo snares the life of Cowboy Americana, enlightens it, and pumps it with steroids. This is the goods here.
Dancin' in the Streets
May 6, 1970
Kresge Plaza - MIT

Right on nonoyolker, what a massive version! Whole show is off the chain, pure psychedelic mastery presented. This Dancin' is right up there with the best of them.
