A must listen for 'Carnival MIDI' GD fans. The jam is very cluttered - going to either love it or hate it

Dueling power and uplifting slide guitar action - one of a kind!!

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!

+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

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!
