Space
Sept. 4, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Super heady, effects-drenched Space that suggests what a fall ’79 Dark Star might’ve sounded like.

Promised Land
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

This really gets cookin’! Keith, Billy, and Jerry seem to be playing little rhythmic games, switching up the accents in interesting ways.

Splendid set closer with delightfully boisterous contributions from Keith and a permeating feeling of real joy.

Sweetly melodic outro, well-played. I really enjoyed this Space > Other One > Stella.

Forceful and confident, with rowdy playing from Bobby and Brent in particular.

@TheBusCameBy and others -- you can vote for 3/18/91 songs at the following link: http://headyversion.com/show/2079/grateful-dead/1991-03-18/ There's a bug on this site that makes it difficult to find a lot of submissions when scrolling through the song pages. It sometimes takes some patience to land on a show page.
It Must Have Been The Roses

Winterland Arena

I am amazed this gorgeous reading from a popular show only has one vote when I got here. Well, now it has two.
Playin' In The Band

Zoo Amphitheater

Very cool and different jam — kind of like one of the grooves on In a Silent Way — in the few minutes before > Iko.
Drums -> Space

Oakland Coliseum Arena

This Drums > JAM > Space is like no other D>S I’ve heard.
Mexicali Blues
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

This is one of the fastest Dead performances, of any song, I've ever heard -- and it never falls apart! It might be uncomfortably fast for some, but man, this just zips.
