Alligator>China Cat>Eleven>Alligator - speaks for itself. The only crime here is I wish the 2nd Alligator was way longer!

You can clearly hear the first part of this jam was used on Anthem of the Sun - it's out of this world!!

Longish jam starts off pretty loose with an early Thirteens from Phil, but tightens up nicely with some killer Jerry to bring it on home!

New Haven Coliseum

I agree grendel, this version is definitely better than 6/30/85; it brings the serious funk!
Terrapin Station

Winterland Arena

"Alahambra" should really be labeled "At a Siding", since that is what this piece is called on the album version of the Terrapin Suite. But technicalities aside, this is a good one, and not just for the historical significance.

Awesome extended soloing in this one
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

One of the all-time best Crypticals IMO. They really take this one up a notch towards the end.
The Other One

Austin Municipal Auditorium

Good one! Gets better with each listen.
