Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

The Omni

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

The Music Never Stopped

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Madison Square Garden

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

Berkeley Community Theatre

All these 72 versions have much to offer. This is, as expected, top notch. But not as good as Veneta.
Uncle John's Band

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

I love this UJB mostly for the killer outro and then intro into wharf rat... that little jam between UJB and Wharf Rat is about as unique of an isolated Garcia solo as it gets.
Take A Step Back
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Seriously its the best... Phil Solo>TASB>Eyes
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 26, 1990
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

This is one of a kind monster.... midi me. One of those versions that you have to listen to at least once. I can see one person saying this is out there cool or another saying pure shat.
