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!

First time I heard BR and thought 'this is the best Big River of the year' Jerry kills his final solo!

More proof that pre-coma '86 has some monster versions hidden within okay shows. Wow this one threw me for a loop and off guard!

This one goes ahead of 5/19/74(previously my favorite) Donna does let loose but listen to the band behind her. Ready set gooooooo. Violent.
