Sure it's only a tease that's aborted for El Paso, but it's Veneta, so it has to be the best!

Melodic and intense, by far my favorite space melts into Stella. Very underrated show.

Who Do You Love
April 14, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

It was always a weird thing to me that this 30 second tease has always been recognized as a separate song/track, but the much longer snippet of Same Thing in Good Lovin' is not. The setlist for this show should be either GL>Caution>GL (with notes for teases of Same Thing and WDYL?) or GL>Same Thing>GL>Caution>WDYL?>Caution>GL, but not GL>Caution>WDYL>Caution>GL.
Feelin' Groovy Jam

Tivolis Koncertsal

This jam is arguably my favorite jam of the Dead's entire career. Just floors me every time.
Touch of Grey
July 12, 1990
Robert F. Kennedy Stadium

I don't know why this isn't higher. Watchtower > Fantasy/Jude > Touch was a fantastic and slightly off-kilter show closing run (after the deep space 2-verse Dark Star into drums...). The energy for Touch (from the band and the crowd) as an uptempo set 2 closer was rarely ever matched.
Morning Dew

Barton Hall - Cornell University

11/2/85 is OK. I mean, all Dews are great, but that one isn't even top 10 for the Brent era and nowhere even close to this one.
Get Back
Jan. 28, 1987
San Francisco Civic Auditorium

It's fun to hear in it's own way, like a lot of the off the cuff covers over the years (ex: full Hey Jude 3/22/90, Stir It Up in 91, first Dear Mr Fantasy 6/14/84) that, in terms of actual performance quality, frankly suck.
