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.

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.

Not Fade Away
June 25, 1978
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.

The Forum

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!
