The magic of Portland, ME. This is the last Althea that really excites me until Bruce joins in. Jerry roars,Phil is present and Weir grinds the gears

^Someone in band gives positive reinforcement after a killer BTW from 6/14/91. For the contrary check out Garcia after LLR 12/30/78, paraphrasing: "Weir you started that thing off so fucking slow man, so slow'....'I'll start it even slower next time'

Jerry does go nuts around 3:37-4:51.Fact checked .Maybe Silver medal winner of first set. Brent being his usual fall '79 self. Gold goes to freaky CRS to start show. This is a really strong show wish Bobby's guitar wasn't buried in the mix.

Red Rocks '78 part two has some great gems. Love this Iko that is indeed out of easily the strongest IIHTWTG

Gomorrah's little brother. I love this version and the killer Throwin' that follows. Let me show how I love it, vote up or not? I got to see this song performed by DSO back in '09 in Ithaca for their 2000th show. I was in the ~10-20% of the audience who actually recognized the song, lost my shit during the opening riff and it almost brought me to tears - believe it or not.
