A little extra mustard on this one.

Me and Bobby McGee

Winterland Arena

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Memorial Coliseum

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

The energy here is just exactly perfect. Confident, tight and downright definitive.
Big Railroad Blues
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Everything is just exactly perfect.
Big River

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

The way Garcia and Kreutzmann are in perfect sync is pure Bliss.
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 10, 1973
Charlotte Coliseum

This show has a bit of an odd, angry edge to it for '73 and you can really feel it here.
Stella Blue
Dec. 4, 1973
Cincinnati Gardens

Very passionate and well-played. Surprised to see this version isn't better-loved.
