My only rec from anything out of '70 - this entire show has special place in my heart

Greek Theater - University of California

Perfect final chorus. Love it when Garcia chimes in with 'and you got yours!'Like he's directly speaking to his bandmates

This one is VERY sloppy,but rocks the hell out. 9/10 thanks to Jerry/Keith interplay

Jack Straw
Dec. 11, 1979
Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall

I would rank this up there with 12/31/79 as best Jackie of the month. The SBD is full and the show rips, the China>Rider and Shakedown is insane
Deal
Oct. 11, 1977
Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

^Check out 1/22/78 and 4/22/78 for matching first set energy. As of 10/12/77, this was the rock and roll king of Deals.

I'm with both Wheel and Jerry'sBitch. This version makes me wants to march significantly more than most(not all), for example check out 5/21/77. It's just as tight and has a lot more twists, Kieth and ends more climatically.

This and 6/9 are clearly twin brothers. Some days I just prefer one over the other. Love the ridiculous tight SBDs from this run.
