Wildly jammed, possibly the finest acoustic version ever, despite the skeevy sound

Dick's Picks 11 - Jazzy and bouncy with some extraordinary melodies from Jerry

Very nice Garcia fretwork. Intense yet breezy, if that makes sense...

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Indeed a wonderful version, one of my favorites of the year in fact.

Very fine version, but try 9/18/74 for a best-of-the-year contender.
The Music Never Stopped

Stanley Theater

Sort of a sloppy version, but they more than make up for it with an insanely ferocious jam with multiple Jerry peaks. Overall, this is one of the best I've heard.
