High Time
Middle of set 2 at MSG, Sweet version in NYC

Throwing Stones
Intense early rocker almost David Byrneesque delivery by Weir Hits hard the political message of the song. very strong early effort
16
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Hard to go wrong with any selection from this outstanding show. It takes a while for Rider to find its groove, but this is why we love the Dead!!
4
Samson and Delilah
This is a great, great show. Everything cooks.
6
Estimated Prophet
No doubt Baltimore 4-19 gets best of year nod, but this is up there for '82.
7
Big River
Effervescent Psychedelic Yakety Polka Rockabilly

Good Lovin'
Bob channels his inner Pigpen. I dig it.
3
Beat it on Down The Line
Driven by a melodic flow missing in many versions.
7
Black Peter
A strong performance from a memorable show
4
He's Gone
Very powerful, percussive version. Sounds like they are about to go into a "Caution" jam at the end but it doesn't get there.
6
Me and My Uncle
Zippy ride right into the frantic Big River
2
Not Fade Away
Fiery, with loads of Brent organ and a tight jam. Everyone's totally locked into the groove.
1
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Nice energetic version with proper pacing and sharp playing.
1
Drums -> Space
Spazzy drums with some wicked beam action towards the back half. Space melts the garden away into a goo
