They are all perfect in the moment and their imperfections are perfect.

As Jerry once said "we dont mind be people taping out shoes because we are done with them once we play them"

I'm a simple person with simple tastes. The set as presented looks like I'd have an excellent time. However, give me a China Cat>IKYR and end the encore with And We Bid You Goodnight and I'm at a 10/10. But don't give me a China Cat without IKYR or else I'll be thoroughly bummed out. I'd be fine with something else leading into IKYR though.

Also, I'd gladly take a 20 minute Lovelight.

You forgot Cumberland Blues.

My favorite of their least played live tunes.

I’m good with anything as long as it contains Althea and Morning Dew.
