That sweet sweet honky tonk metalic twang

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!

Not Fade Away

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

My go to version for rock n' roll NFAs. This one's even hotter than 6/4/78. Jerry sounds like he's having a blast this night.

Not quite as hot as the other 2 June '77 versions, but this one's a sweet prelude. Kieth is on fire here!

+1 KLAUSSMITH has a fine appreciation of all things that rock the hell out. Nice to see not everyone ignores all things not involving long spacey jams. 9/2/79 is easily a top 5 show from a monster year
He's Gone

Lakeland Civic Center

Just got done listening to this one. To put things into perspective - this is the first time i've ever recommended or commented on He's Gone. God damn DP29 is my royal entertainment!
