As far as these pre-August 74 versions go, pretty darn good; certainly far better than Veneta

Not the all-time best but surely deserves to be on the list

Big Railroad Blues

Berkeley Community Theater

Oops hit "send" too soon. The band is a little raggedy in the first set, but Garcia hits some nice licks here with Brent tootling along on organ. To be honest, not the greatest version I ever heard, but check out 1984-10-18.

Gorgeous and Phil is out to lunch on the end jam
The Other One

Spaciest version ever, just Weir and Garcia until after the 1st chorus
China Doll
