20. "Lazy Lightnin'" > "Supplication" The Mosque - Barton Hall, Ithaca, NY, 5/8/77
This is a popular transition played through the years. This version is a particular highlight, as Bobby's vocals are completely on, and the beat hitting in this sequence is total high energy.
19. "Lost Sailor" > "Saint of Circumstance" Frost Amphitheatre - Palo Alto, California,10/10/82
Bob Weir's especially on at this show, and his vocals at the end of "Lost Sailor" are fantastic; he's giving it his all as the melody of "Saint of Circumstance" comes in perfectly over it, seamlessly transitioning between the two.
18. "Playing in the Band" > "Iko Iko" Zoo Amphitheatre, Oklahoma City, OK, 8/1/82
This "Playing in the Band" goes into an eerie and, at times, dissonant jam, with Jerry throwing down some major chords and whipping the band right into a version of "Iko Iko" that quickly turns this into a funky dance party.
17. "Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad" > "Cold Rain and Snow" Fillmore East - New York, New York, 4/29/71
Superb playing starting with "Alligator," this jam coming out of "Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad" is delicate, as Phil Lesh hits a few bass notes, and just like that, the vocals for "Cold Rain and Snow" start, effortlessly bringing the rest of the band in.
16. "Drums" > "Space" Nassau Coliseum - Uniondale, New York, 3/29/90
This segment, unique to the Grateful Dead, gives the drummers a chance to really breathe while the rest of the band takes a break, and vice versa. Things can get very creative in the sometimes misunderstood "Drums">"Space" portion of the show, and this version with Branford Marsalis on saxophone has an extra level of weirdness.
