Good Lovin'

Capitol Theater

20 min. Pig rap-fest; Heavy and fast barnburner, thunderous drums, and nimble bass

The Other One
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

Three from the Vault version; Tumbling, fiery, madness, Garcia lights this one up; The bus stopped by at the Capitol Theater, did you get on?

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 5, 1981
Glens Falls Civic Center

Melodic and creative soloing throughout; the transition (">") is absolutely on fire, musical communication between instruments is on point

Sweet and funky

The Eleven
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Immediately comes to mind when looking for a monster rendition. Flowing and super raging.
St. Stephen
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Power in full swinging abundance. Not the longest version but packs a strong punch. Segues out of an altogether dimension eclipsing Dark Star, and segues into a mad Eleven with huge peaks and Garcia butane fuel jamming.
Caution
Feb. 24, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

This version is sick. Lightning tempos, and ferocious psychedelic jamming.
Franklin's Tower
Sept. 29, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Very mellow, and the beginning lead in is sincerely and concisely played. Nearly 17 minutes of sweet action.
Big River
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Keith and Jerry absolutely crush this.
