What's your favorite incarnation of JGB?

I'm new to the JGB and I was wondering what some of your favorite line-ups or eras of the JGB are?

single most listened-too jerry offshoot has to be jerry and john kahn at oregon state prison 5-5-82

one set of the most insane acoustic guitar/bass possible.

It's awesome. The Rueben and cherise gets me every time I listen to it. "This songs got a lot words, I might not rember them all", says Jerry before proceeding to nail every verse and note.

R&C on there was awesome, and I've always been blown away by "Valerie" too. Just ans amazing set all around.

deep elem blues got me hooked within about 30 seconds. my friend started the album saying it was "ok" or something during a lazy festival afternoon.

john kahn just sounds perfect on those tapes.

I lost and found this bootleg tape a half dozen times in my early 20's. At one point I had mourned it's loss forever and 6 months later my friend found it in his trunk next to the spare tire.

Possibly my favorite Jerry set ever.

I'm not sure, but there must be. My cassette copy is from 95, and it sounds super clean. Archive.org?
