Friend of the Devil

Uptown Theatre

Underrated show here, apparently. This is a good version from an excellent show.

Me and My Uncle

Providence Civic Center

Starting to be a little disco-inflected, but none the worse for it; Garcia is firing away...

Really solid version; about as good as it gets

Not Fade Away

Hartford Civic Center

Rather surprising this hasn't been submitted, this show seeks a bit underrated in general. Garcia gets majorly vicious here.

Stupendous Garcia

Me and Bobby McGee
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

The solo is as good as it gets short of 1974-07-19
Big Railroad Blues
Oct. 18, 1984
Meadowlands Arena

I guess this show is not sufficiently known, otherwise I would imagine this would have more votes. Jerry is dirty and degenerate, just how we like it.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Dec. 1, 1973
Music Hall

Like 1974-06-30, this aspires to be an effort-free verison; I'm not sure it's as effective as the latter, though, but the preceding NFA is better than Springfield, so it evens out
Not Fade Away
Aug. 14, 1971
Berkeley Community Theater

Absolutely incredible--Weir lays out, Lesh and Garcia and Bill K amazing power trio!
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 25, 1973
Feyline Field

This is like a woven magic quilt of sound
