Very smoking version that's a fair representation of the entire show. Great energy all night!

It's just played really well. The entire show is good but nothing better than an A-. Show was heavy in my rotation in youth. A+ SBD. Nice CRS opener!

Played in hyper speed and everything still sounds just exactly perfect. A great way to end a set in any era

Damn! Unhealthy JG really kicks ass sometimes! Excellent bouncy >, Jer sings along in 'laid down last night.' verse - Rider is simply out for blood!

There's just a litte cheesy chriping synth...outside of that this Bird is jumpy,agressive, and probably cracked my top 5

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!

Augusta Civic Center

+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!
