If I ever get to joyfully skip to my destination I'd hear this theme en route. Relentless yet not mean/crunchy like previous year's IAON greats.

8+ minutes of twitching and dodging. This show is easily strongest most complete of Godchaux Winter '79

This was an isolated show and it sure sounds that way. Rock n rock and rock and roll here baby!

Jerry's shaky vocals are part of this one's charm - the NYC crowd goes nuts over it. The climatic part of Few wasn't very climatic but still great Weir\Garcia interplay in jams! Solid 8.5\10

One of my favorite versions.... Pre-Hiatus Always thought E74 was GDs best work across the Atlantic.
