This version from the Springfield Creamery benefit is a perfect example of psychedelic cowboy outlaw dead. The sped up tempo helps paint the picture..

BEST LATE 70s Good Lovin!!! Post Egypt shows, coming out of Bertha, Jerry goes off around 2:20, you can just feel the energy and see his smile....

You want bouncy? You want funky? You want from Egypt with love? Then you want this epic Dire Wolf from Winterland. Just listen around 2:20.

The Eleven
Nov. 8, 1969
Fillmore West

Sandwiched in one of the craziest dead jams. Jerry's guitar screams and sings and Phil lays it down...doesn't get much better than this!!
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Nov. 8, 1969
Fillmore West

Smokin' schoolgirl. Pig's harmonica solo melts into Garcia's hot blues licks. This is an awesome way to open a killer show.
Mind Left Body Jam
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Coming out of an epic Dark Star, when your finished and look back at where you started, you have no idea what happened and how you got there. You just know that it was a good trip.
The Other One
Dec. 31, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Don't let the "it's good" comment fool you. This is one of the best 90's Other Ones. Jerry makes his guitar wail. The band builds up for a little while before Phil DROPS THE BOMBS!!! Bobby's vocal distortion makes the song dark and weird. The interplay between Jerry and Branford especially in the break between verses just makes this one of the best Other Ones post 1978, and definitely the best Post Brent Other One.
Sugar Magnolia

Winterland Arena

I totally agree. This is my favorite sugar mag from my favorite dead show. Jerry GOES OFF like a man possessed. Only Garcia could put that many notes together in such a quick succession and keep it with the melody of the song. He makes that guitar sing like no one else can!!!!
