Hofheinz Pavilion
A Homo erectus-like version but notable for Jerry's solo after the first Rio Grandee chorus.

Jerry impassioned yet subdued singing in that ragged and worn voice is deeply affecting.

Jerry's voice and singing at this time fit this one perfectly.

Just like a big B-52 chugging upward, '69/'70 Dead could sure soar in its own heavy way.

Devoid of downtime.
Loser
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena
1970s guitar god-type shit. Always the first of the big 'Loser's that comes to mind, although I'm one of those that thinks 'Loser' could be hot in any vintage.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Alpine Valley Music Theatre
I can't seem to recall a so-called 'Feelin' Groovy' jam/theme/motif in a CCS>IKYR that better serves its purpose than the one here.
The Other One
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West
This or Harpur? Might have to go with this for versions with that '69/'70 sound. Then again, might have to take a closer listen.
