Jack Straw
Sept. 18, 1983
Nevada County Fairgrounds
This show proves hot out of the gate with this fiercely jammed Jack Straw. The Andrew F recording sounds amazing, too.

Not Fade Away
April 5, 1989
Crisler Arena
More evidence for the NFAissance of 1989. Torn to shreds.

Drums -> Space
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California
Xylophone loop madness in Drums, then a creepy two-note riff by Bobby surfaces several times in Space.

Feel Like A Stranger
April 5, 1989
Crisler Arena
En fuego! Masterfully executed, funky, slinky, and ultimately ripped to shreds.

Mexicali Blues
July 27, 1974
Civic Center
Another FAST ’74 version, it’s executed with so much swagger you’d swear they could go faster still.

Space
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
I dispute GDM’s labeling of this as Space — ’77-’78 had a lot of solo Garcia moments, just like Phil was prone to stepping out in ’72-’73 or Bob/Brent before drums in the early ’80s — but it’s a magnificent moment.
Uncle John's Band
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
What a mood this second set finds itself in. The UJB jam melting into that solo Garcia meditation is the purest distillation.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
I’m with cgarces: This is probably the third best of the month behind Cornell and maaaaybe Tuscaloosa — and No. 3 is a tremendous honor for May 1977. What an impossibly smooth, sweet, and dreamy second set.
The Other One
June 26, 1973
Seattle Center Coliseum
If you know how to listen to the noisy stuff, this Other One’s for you.
El Paso
June 26, 1973
Seattle Center Coliseum
Serious heat. A *Wild* West El Paso from the best era for the cowboy tunes.
