This Jed features some superb Bob and Jerry interplay towards the final minutes.

Outstanding rendition, out of a massive truckin'. They take their time, and play a serene moonlight walking dirge.

Pretty Peggy O

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Simply beautiful and clean, elusive and smooth. I could see this as a top 10 version.
Eyes Of The World
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Quick jazz infused jamming, featuring a beautiful array of mellow but intense spiraling interweaving guitar and bass lines. Vocally this one is superb, and the instrumentals complete this one perfectly, the combination is seriously a strong indication of how clicked in they were during this performance.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Dig this version, and dig this show. So concise, so controlled, so contained, but simultaneously rockin' and fast paced. As per usual with 1978 Garcia has a strong solo and a powerful tone.
Not Fade Away
Oct. 6, 1977
Activity Center. Arizona State U

This one escapes the stratosphere of normal NFA, exploding and crushing rhythm and guitar shredding. Check this one out, takes my vote over Cornell.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Nice one here, love China>Rider in 74', this version certainly proves impressive from start to end, probably my favorite of the May 74' run. Entire show presents the band in peak form, and this entire May run is on fire, maybe the best of the year.
