Excellent version that includes Phil whirling the whole band into a frenzy. Chaotic jamming from a smokin' show

Truckin'
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

This Truckin' contains the most energy of any I have heard. Really chaotic final jam that ends in a mad swirling blues jam. Some sick riffs from Jerry. Really, you just have to listen to this to understand, and make sure you play it loud because its a fucking smoker.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Broome County Arena

Garcia goes straight for the jugular on this one, powerful rendition and easily deserving its spot on the list
Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

Fabulous opener, one of my favorite versions of this song, and should be higher on list. Super fueled jam here, sped up faster than usual and teeming with power.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Oct. 27, 1971
Onondaga War Memorial

Smokin!
Here Comes Sunshine
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

The transition into space is just majorly trippy and dark. Manages to hit the top level of psychedelia, definitely a top 10 version.
