If I ever get to joyfully skip to my destination I'd hear this theme en route. Relentless yet not mean/crunchy like previous year's IAON greats.

8+ minutes of twitching and dodging. This show is easily strongest most complete of Godchaux Winter '79

Have been a fan of this the moment I heard it. Aggressive!

If you like Jerry playing slide the only other version that comes to mind is 1/22/78. It's not as complete as Cornell, but there's like a 20 second stretch where Bobby and Jerry both start playing slide creating one hell of a trip.

Those two April '91 shows in Atlanta gave an audience a once and a lifetime to hear this band sound remotely like it again. The Stagger and Deal from this same show are both equally as noisy violence

Negligibly underrated, I guess AUDs don't have any ass kickers in their cataloge..
