The jam during this blows me away every time. Pure psychedelic bliss. An argument could easily be made that this is the definitive version.

Manhattan Center

Powerful and driving blues jam, with a unique ending. Garcia tears this one up, and Lesh provides a great hollow bass sound.

Off the rails, intense blues jamming.

Relaxed, controlled, and tight. Garcia owns this one.

New Minglewood Blues

Avalon Ballroom

Insane early version. Weir goes off on the vocals, and there is some energetic old time Dead jamming.

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.

Polished and ripping version from a great dicks pick.

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.
