Very nice '83-version coming out of Space, which features an interesting jam into Playin' reprise. Bonus track on DaP 39.

Okay, so it's El Paso, but it sounds like Keith enjoyed the Big Sky 'cause this dude is ON throughout this show

Strange to not see this already on here. The boys are on (as they are throughout this legendary show). And listen to Billy!

Me and Bobby McGee
June 26, 1973
Seattle Center Coliseum

Oye! Great version flowing in-between a jazzy O1 that slowly melts into the kind of noise that some like and others don’t. The ability and willingness to package a country song like Me and Bobby McGee inside a jazzed out jam which they then proceed to completely deconstruct, is one of the reasons why I love this band.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Seattle Center Coliseum

Overlooked indeed! Breezy stuff. Ridiculous how few votes some songs from the PNW box set have, such as this China > Rider.

Really nice. Loose and tight at the same time - as only the Dead can do

I deem this worthy of at least a hundred more votes

How come there's so few votes on songs from this outstanding show? This GSET is one of the best I've heard
