Headphones only (sound problems), but so worth it - liquid crystal lightning Jerry jaming at it's best. Deserves many listens.

Archive copy sounds like its recorded through a tin can, but excellent groove, jam. For headphones only.

Massive and powerful. Jerry and Keith are just brilliant. OK, that all from me on this great show.

Sarcasm or not, that comment made my day. And unique or not, this MHUT is all about the Rio Grand section.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Winterland Arena

Perfect party topper. Glyn's right about this one. I always felt that they closed with U.S. Blues when they knew they'd just thrown a good party. Closing out an epic three-show spot at Winterland with this as the double encore means to me that they'd had a great time too.

This one has a great arc to it. They cruise at warp6 for 10 hot minutes before leaving the jaw-grinding peak for a blissful spaceout. It's gripping as they find their way into Stella. Shout out to Keith, who just as they're coming into that peaceful interlude hits on a 4 over 12 vamp that I hadn't heard before, adding to the beauty.

The outro jam is pretty special, warts and all. I love the few post-hiatus versions that have a clear "bell" jam before the last shout. Here it starts around 7:50 with repeating bass notes that sound like booming church bells, just like the lyrics tell us.

Jerry is just ripping it up here, as he is throughout the show.
