Probably my favorite versions with Bruce and that's saying a lot.

Pauley Pavilion, UCLA

The bass and drums are practically absent on recording but Jerry/Brent/Bobby really sound great during jams. Any '82 Shakedowns are a B at worst

12/16/78 Lite. Typical tight late '78 version with whistling Bobby and all.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

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

Winterland Arena

Rocking version from a killer tour. Check it out!
Morning Dew
Sept. 14, 1988
Madison Square Garden

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
Wharf Rat

Cobo Arena

Best version of year and i love Donna but she's got nothing to do with this insane rocker.
Jack Straw

Parc des Expositions

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