This one really soars and rivals 5/7/78 as my favorite.

Very powerful version with fun jamming and a raucous ending from a show I neglected for too long

If nothing else check out jam from 4:10-6:31 it's insane. Recording is mostly Jerry, Keith and Phil but it works.

For Bobby slide fans, great ripping version from their killer first set since Egypt. Jed--->Straw are fire!

Jerry plays the most beautiful licks throughout this ending
Jack Straw

Winterland Arena

I give this one a slight edge over 10/22 because the first time I ever heard this Jack Straw was the first time I realized how bad ass the song can get

cgarces is right about this one trust me

Jerry goes full pop-rock -not much noodling, mostly repetitive riffing...same style utilized in Jack Straw, OMSN and US Blues from this show and I love it. Hard rock Garcia is bad ass!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Uptown Theatre

Jerry shows off how quick he can hit notes during Scarlet mid song jam and pretty exiting stuff during > into a short but exciting Fire featuring a little high energy Jer fanning at the end.
