A little extra mustard on this one.

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.

The Spectrum

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

Bob is doing some interesting stuff on the intro to this one.

Only the Grateful Dead can sound this tight while playing so loose.
Black Throated Wind
Nov. 30, 1973
Boston Music Hall

Downright definitive. Probably the cleanest, most confident reading I've ever heard. Sublime.
Dire Wolf

Sexy smooth.
Uncle John's Band

Winterland Arena

Maybe not an epic like other top versions, but this one is nearly perfectly rendered. Uncommonly clean and definitive.
