Kiel Auditorium

Hits a moment of near complete silence. A beautiful segue from eyes into china doll.

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Really fun latter day version. I believe it is the second to last played. The boys get into it, and reassure the crowd they arent quite done yet.

Samson and Delilah

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Rippin' version. Some dialed in rage from Jerry coming with some ferocious solos.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Bobby gets into it, in great fashion. A quick charge through a Dylan Cover. Bursting energy throughout

Not Fade Away

The Forum

Absolutely nuts version. Twice as fast as usual, I would stack this up with cornell.

Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1993
Cal Expo

I would stack this up with nearly all other latter day playin' jams. Super weird, but absolutely massive
Deal

Blistering solos by Jerry. I might even like this as much as that monster Playin' from this second set. Forget the Road Trips, the AUD for this show is superb.
Viola Lee Blues
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Full throttle, dark, and energetic.
The Other One
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Certainly one of the best ever.
Morning Dew

Kresge Plaza - MIT

Jerry Garcia called this the definitive version. I would hesitate to go that far, but a great version in its own right.
