Long Beach Arena

Cream of the crop, top shelf Scarlet<Fire. Easy to tell Garcia is in the zone. Lucid, flowing, and fabulous version.

Eyes Of The World

Classic Eyes<China Doll. Nearly all of the versions from 73' are great, but this is one of the best.

Dire Wolf

Fillmore East

Americana at its finest. Slow, mellow, rewarding, clean, polished, and homey. One of my favorites.

Dancin' in the Streets

Fillmore East

A case could be made for this being the finest version ever.

Rockin' version
The Other One

Salt Palace

Awesome Phil is a madman in this
Morning Dew
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Wicked dark star<dew, no question this is one of the best versions of the year. The range of sound is incredible They play as soft and as loud as they can and balance the song perfectly providing an absolutely perfect final crescendo.
Sugaree
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Polished and ripping version from a great dicks pick.
Wharf Rat
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

IMHO the song can't get much better then how they played it on this night. Whole show presents the band in top form and this rat is right up there with the truckin' as the highlights from the performance.
