Fun stuff, especially Brent's organ; actually enjoyed the Good Lovin' it goes into more than I usually do with Bobby versions.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Activity Center - University of Colorado

Part of a nice 1-2 punch encore; the final, high energy rockers really elevate this show.

Cameron Indoor Stadium

Energetic version sandwiched between a KILLER Row Jimmy and an interestingly tempoed Loser.

Ramble On Rose
Dec. 30, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Nice pace and vocals, almost as rockin' as the (pinnacle) '78 versions, with some Brent keys thrown in.

Palace Theatre

Nifty '72 BEW sets-up a lovely, exploratory PITB...hold on to your hats for set 2, with a criminally underrated top 10 of all-time Dark Star.

Also really dig this song and this version, though could see how it could be tough to take at a show; so depressing and melancholy

^agree that Jerry's vocals are on here, and really throughout the whole show

I rarely make a negative comment, but this one just really doesn't do it for me. Trying to get into '77 dead. Wan't to. Can't.

^ agree with above: dreamy, trippy, luscious. my new favorite.

Manor Downs

Really surprised to find this so low. Bouncy, rockin' version that reminds me of those stellar '78 ones. Surprisingly great early 80s Jerry vocals.
