A Dew rec brought me to this show - the Estimated made me want to talk about it

Probably my favorite versions with Bruce and that's saying a lot.

Pauley Pavilion, UCLA

The bass and drums are practically absent on recording but Jerry/Brent/Bobby really sound great during jams. Any '82 Shakedowns are a B at worst

12/16/78 Lite. Typical tight late '78 version with whistling Bobby and all.

Copps Coliseum

Love this one for the reverb on the build up to final verse and any version where Jerry sings 'and you got yours!' always gets special treatment from me. Feels like he's trying to tell someone something....

Memorial Coliseum

Hey KSU85 no need to sway me - Swing is one of my least favorite Terrapins of the year. It's just a novelty act. This is a great version.
Not Fade Away
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

I almost bailed on it than around 13:50 mark TNT explosion changed direction of a somewhat monotonous jam
Not Fade Away

Uptown Theater

Dueling Bobby/Jerry fanning intro sets tone for an under looked NFA. Jerry's groaning is always a good sign

Jai-Alai Fronton

Just heard it - love it! Upbeat drumming, great vocals, mean Jerry, and sweet sweet Bobby slide
