Greek Theater - University of California

Perfect final chorus. Love it when Garcia chimes in with 'and you got yours!'Like he's directly speaking to his bandmates

Cold Rain and Snow
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Man I love this 'silky' version. Jerry plays about 50% less notes than your typical CRS. Que this one up and melt away in your chair.

July 16, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Most up-tempo CRS of the year. Jerry means business during the outro!
Dark Star

Winterland Arena

This is the only Dark Star that gets a vote from me
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 6, 1991
