This post is one of the dumbest I've ever seen on here so had to comment just based on that, but also this Mama Tried > Mexicali Blues is HOT

Upon a second close listening, the ending of this and transition into Sugar Mags is one of the best improvisational pieces of music the Dead ever put together. Just makes you move uncontrollably like only they can. If you were going to showcase any Dark Star to a newbie, i think this would be the one. I don't even have the words to describe it that aren't already in these comments. Just simply perfect.

Kinda zoned out about 10 minutes into this and then...BAM surprise Feelin Groovy jam! Great version and amazing sequence from Truckin through Comes a Time. Thank goodness I gave this a relisten on the 50th anniversary, because I sure as hell wasn’t zoned out this time and got to enjoy a top-of-the-line other one sequence here. First 3 shows of this tour are bonkers

This is a good one. Think I prefer the 4/8 one but this is a killer way to start the second set
