Hofheinz Pavilion

Jerry's wah on the '72 versions is absolutely raunchy, this one included.

The vocal performance here isn't the strongest, but Phil and Jerry more than make up for it.
Cumberland Blues

The Spectrum

A lil sloppy, but the energy and hot-shit soloing make up for it.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

The Spectrum

Bob drops a real crunchy "solo" in the bridge that really makes you wanna boogie. He's the sleeper star of this whole first set, really.

Folsom Field, University of Colorado

There's a level of focus and direction to the jam, even when it's at its spaciest. This is one of the all-time great versions and should be much higher up.
