Solid grooving version. Jerry's final solo builds up nicely.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Nassau Coliseum

China Cat is a slow, bumpy, and chaotic mess, quickly ended. Follows a beautiful Feeling Groovy and long Rider. Good to see the boys quick recovery!

Very sweet and sorrowful. A beautiful version.

Tighter and a wee bit faster than the previous night's debut, played with more confidence and just exactly perfect.

Sweet version, very tight and mellow groove: Love the 70's outlaw buddy-pic vibe.

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.
Drums -> Space

Interstellar undersea worlds with an occasional Persian carpet-riding caterpillars whooshing through en route to a killer Dew: Yep, that'll do nicely, thanx.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

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.
