A really *really* great Brokedown encore. A highlight of the entire tour for sure.

A Wharf Rat that convinces to the point of perfection. One of the best....period.

A cannon into outer space; Enters uncharted territory; Reminiscent of 73' DS jams; Locked and zoned in jamming.

Dancin' in the Streets

Capitol Theater

Fantastically jammed and layered version that is definitely worth multiple listens.
Might As Well

Orlando Arena

Smokin'!!! Garcia's tone just sounds incredibly polished, just relaxed cranking from Jerry this whole show.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 17, 1975
Winterland Arena

Super cool, first Help on the Way ever performed live. The slipknot is absolutely massive, and a great franklins tower to top off the suite. Superb playing from an often overlooked 1975 show.
Ship of Fools
Dec. 5, 1979
Uptown Theater

Maybe the best post 77' version, and is clearly a sublime and emotive rendition of a great song.
Samson and Delilah
Dec. 5, 1979
Uptown Theater

Blistering, and powerful. Super fiery solos here, this version is SMOKIN'.
