China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 9, 1973
RFK Stadium

Controlled yet passionate. Almost Mozartean.

Dark Star
Feb. 8, 1970
Fillmore West

Spacey and relaxed, but maintains a gentle simmer throughout.

Me and Bobby McGee
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Crisp and sweet as always, but it's Jerry's fills that really make this version.

Truckin'
May 24, 1972
Strand Lyceum

*Yet another* stellar Truckin' from Europe '72. It would be unconscionable not to acknowledge its greatness here.

Strand Lyceum

Very sweetly played and sung. Could easily have been the version picked for "Europe '72."

Shakedown Street
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

A true team effort that shows off the jamming chemistry of 1989.
New Minglewood Blues
Aug. 19, 1980
Uptown Theatre

This is one of the best versions I’ve heard. 1980 is such an amazing — and too often overlooked — year.
Truckin'
Oct. 14, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Chilled-out ambient space into Drums. Very cool and different.
Playin' In The Band
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium

Ample demonstration of the jamming magic of Brent’s last year.
Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

Hadn't heard this in a long time, then listened yesterday for the 50th anniversary and wooooooow. Jerry — is — on — fire. No wonder this one is ranked so high!
