Final time played, Pig is in fine form, acoustic set here is beautiful, entire show for that matter is transcendent stuff.

Great year for this song, no doubt, emotive, and serene. A quick ride in time, Capitol Theater 1970.

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

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

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

Uptown Theater

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

Uptown Theater

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