Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Aug. 24, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

Love the slowing down in tempo from a raging Eleven. The echo of the Shrine Auditorium really makes each notes of Jerrys guitar sting you. But in a good way.
The Other One

Beat Club

The youtube video is by far better in sound than the archive links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Uu57h7H18 I just have to comment here again; the Truckin > Other One sequence here is top 5 of all time, its so focused and exploratory, and the short but divine jam after the second verse of TOO is so inspired, amazing playing.

Jerrys voice is so emotional and seemless in this version, one of my favourites.
Not Fade Away

Nassau Coliseum

This grooves alright. Thanks Grendel!

I messend up the linking, but if you search "31/10/1980 Grateful Dead - Set 3" it'll appear.
