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!

Killer 3 minute jam closes this one out. Just exactly things.

The 3 night run in Chicago 1/30-2/1 is some of the best GD of all time. This is what winter in the midwest sounds like.

IMO a top 5 for sure. Full of sound and chaos.

This is not a stand alone version a roaring Stella legit segues into this pleasing FT. Really high grade shit! Love Bobby's complimentary playing along with the very mean and proud tone omitting out of JG's guitar. God damn what a climatic middle and ending jam. 10/10 shit right here. Shocked i'm new to this craziness.
