Nice pace and energy to this version. Great Jerry and Brent solos too.

jerry tears it up and keith playing the saloon sound

Blazing version, but I nominated it primarily for its placement within the context of the tasty Playin'->Half-Step->Big River->Playin' sandwich.

A nice bouncy version with brent driving it. Bobs vocals are solid here too. There are so many great shows in this period that get passed over...

Never tire of this Cash tune. Jerry's all over this, his guitar motorin' us down the mighty Mississipp'

Solid version, check out Brent's keys at the beginning sounds like Mexicali before the band pushes him to Big River

This show is hot right out of the gates! Great Bobby vocals and Brent keys especially! Late summer heat in MSG!

Some mighty fine pickin' here

It was very rare for the Dead to play a slow River in the 80s, but this is almost ‘74 speed! Love it!

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Second solo absolutely rips.

An exceptional performance from a one off show in summer '78.
