Where is the love for this show?? A monster transition from Playin' into Franklins. Huge version, that blows the roof off the forum.

Legendary Terrapin Encore, I would put this in my personal top five. An absolutely ferocious final jam.

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'

Kezar Stadium

Way more energy than most. Absolutely scorching.
He's Gone

Kezar Stadium

Phenomenal version, Lesh makes this one.
Me and My Uncle

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.
