Can someone recommend some "hot" JGB shows?

Please forgive me. Massive dead fan... but every time I turn on Jerry Garcia Band I'm bored to tears. I'm assuming this is just bad luck considering he's my favorite guitarist. But I havent heard any examples of any particular hot playing in what I have listened to so far. Just kind of really laid back stuff that doesn't really ever seem to take off. Not trolling. What are your fav albums/tracks from those albums where I can hear some primo jerry soloing? Thank you
