A Dew>Playin'>UJB>Playin' jam of outrageous power, starting one of the great months in the band's history. Pity the show's not complete, though.

Video w/ TC. See it to believe it. And believe me, Carrion Crow, it's an absolute beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVqArOogY-c

Get lined up, put on your helmet, then prepare to be shot out of a cannon for about 30 minutes. This is what early Dead is all about.

This one's a must for fans of this song: I know I'd trade some of my tomorrows for one more yesterday with Bobby & Co. Sweet and meloncholy....

So beautiful I had to stop it mid way through and start it again. Impassioned, clear sounding, great vocals and harmonies. (Phil!) Perfect.

An undeniably beautiful version from an outrageously beautiful acoustic set in an unbelievably face-stealingly beautiful show. Did I mention that I like it?

Nice description, couldn't say it better myself. One of the best 80s Dews I know.

Interstellar undersea worlds with an occasional Persian carpet-riding caterpillars whooshing through en route to a killer Dew: Yep, that'll do nicely, thanx.

The Slipknot alone would merit an up vote, but the long, grooving Franklin's sets it in stone.

Good call hvd, and I'll check out 10.12.83 too. Sounds almost like they forgot which set they were in and were just itching to lift off into it. This one could be much higher, and it's a great example of the mid-80s sound that first got me on the bus.
