Little Red Rooster
April 2, 1989
Civic Arena
The Brent-driven portion of the jam is downright smoldering. The rest of the band can't resist getting in on the action.

Dancin' in the Streets
Nov. 2, 1969
Family Dog at the Great Highway
A lost masterpiece, now restored on the new Dave's Picks! The once-missing jam is a face-stealer.

Not Fade Away
Dec. 17, 1992
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
A searing hot jam with lots of Phil and aggressive work from Weir. Underrated.

Hurts Me Too
Aug. 24, 1971
Auditorium Theatre
An uncommonly spirited organ solo from Pigpen augmented by searing leads from Jerry make this one stand out.

Let It Grow
Oct. 26, 1980
Radio City Music Hall
What this one lacks in deep exploration, it more than makes up for in exceptionally tight playing and strong vocals. A top-shelf performance from all.

The Other One
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum
This is no perfunctory post-Space Other One. What it lacks in length it more than makes up for in intensity and focus. No one is phoning it in — Jerry is absolutely shredding, Bob is providing challenging accompaniment, the Devils are bouncing, and Brent is sprinkling creative runs all over the top. Maybe the best of the year?
Mexicali Blues
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium
Bill really is on fire, but so is Jerry. Clean, precise leads with interesting fills throughout. Pretty top-shelf version of what's usually a filler song.
Loser
May 25, 1977
The Mosque
Yeah, the opening solo just feels botched. I love what Phil is up to though. Shame it doesn't all come together.
Caution
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall
Multiple heady passages, including a super bluesy Other One jam early on. Top shelf version.
Spanish Jam
April 28, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre
I'm not hearing it. Very cool Space, but no Spanish Jam here
