Fillmore West

Excellent stand-alone version, Jerry plays and sings a perfect tempo. Beautiful version, ethereal to say the least.

Civic Arena

Middle of the road show at best, but this Black Peter portrays a certain beautiful somber joy that just clicks along with the very slow tempo

One of the all-time great Big Rivers

The Spectrum

Frankly, I was quite surprised upon seeing this one had yet to be posted. A seamless and absolutely sick version

Garcia plummets deep to the final climax, a fairly quick but power packed rendition

Absolutely nasty tease, would've been too epic if they had played it. Crowd would've torn the place to shreds.
Midnight Hour
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

Superior version, most definitely a favorite of mine.
Morning Dew
March 27, 1987
Civic Center

Garcia's solos are as powerful as you will possibly find, definitely worth checking out.
Crazy Fingers
Sept. 7, 1985
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Smooth version from a sick show
If I Had The World To Give
Nov. 20, 1978
Cleveland Music Hall

Perfect, they nail it, should have played it more throughout their years.
