Crazy Fingers
76' clearly best year for this tune; 1982 another excellent year for the song, 9/21 one of the best, Playin' > Crazy Fingers to open

Throwing Stones
Intense early rocker almost David Byrneesque delivery by Weir Hits hard the political message of the song. very strong early effort

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!!

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.

Not Fade Away
Fiery, with loads of Brent organ and a tight jam. Everyone's totally locked into the groove.
