This shouldn't be too much of a shocker, it's Sping 78, a perfect year for Row Boy. aud recording(sounds fine)

I'm going to assume this version is new to the site because nobody has heard it

This would be a great version to play for a newbie. It's as typical rock and roll the band gets. Jerry's riffing isn't quite as creative as some might wish but none the less the end jam is extremely head spinning.

This one goes off the tracks!

Knickerbocker Arena

Just fast forward to 4:10 and enjoy the wine(Jerry/Weir) and cheese(Vince!)

This and 6/14/91, 8/14/91 are all great versions worthy of best of year. This one's ending packs the most punch and never lets up, but is a little one dimensional compared to 6/14 and 8/14

Just had to vote this up. Instead of noodling like a mad man Jerry's styling is similar to his jamming back in '77-'78. Great little throw back.
