Althea has always been a little bit of a quandary for me. As a song I rate it highly, but it falls within the Mydland era, a place I seldom tread, so I've heard few live performances. I'm willing to be educated. Did Garcia ever perform it in any of his non-Dead incarnations for example?

On track 25, Jerry talks about wanting to get Althea right just once. Note that actual track numbers don't seem to correspond to the track listing shown below.
