Best Grateful Dead Jam?

The grateful dead have four (and most likey many more) particularly strong jam transition songs: saint stephen > the eleven, china cat suflower > i know you rider, scarlet begonias > fire on the mountain, and the Alligator > China Cat Sunflower > Eleven > Alligator > Caution jam in Dick's Picks 22. of these four which do you think is best?

im gonna go with scarlet begonias > fire on the mountain

 

dammit i forgot to check the poll box...o well

 

scarlet>fire is grand, but im gonna go with the unmentioned saint stephen>eleven

 

first off, dicks picks 22 kicks major ass....i just got it a few weeks ago my favorite is the saint stephen>the eleven

 

erh, i guess im illiterate... sorry cat...

 

idk its a tie between st stephen > eleven and scarlet begonias > fire on the mountain

 

Playing in the Band by itself was quite the jam...

 

If you want killer tune/jam transitions, check these out....2 of my hometown shows!

11/9/79 - War Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, NY

Set 2: Dancin> Franklin's, Estimated> He's Gone> Drumz> Wharf Rat> Miracle> Bertha> Good Lovin

4/17/84 - Niagara Falls Convention & Civic Center, Niagara Falls, NY

Set 2: Help> Slipknot> Franklin's> Woman Smarter, Eyes> Drumz> Black Peter> Throwing Stones> NFA

 

ah yes, this is probably one of my favorite jams. (in general, not that particular show).

 

i have a bootleg from a cornell univ set(77 i think)... where they have the scarlet->fire jam... i must say its a great jam

 

any scarlet>fire jam is guaranteed to be a good time.

 

i finally added a poll, so now you can vote for your favorite

 

china cat sunflower makes me think of the best times of my life... with my ex...

 

i like 'goin down the road feelin bad -> not fade away' too

 

...she wore scarlet begonians...

 

china cat sunflower - i know you rider. there's a great version on 'rocking the rhein'
germany 72.

 

lots of good examples of that song... dont forget the whole cryptical envelopment jam... quite nice really

 

I gotta go with: China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider
Many early sets have that in it, and I totally dig it.

 

yeah my vote also goes to China Cat Sunflower

 

I personally love China Cat>Rider.
