Brown Eyed Women
April 22, 1979
Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

Mexicali Blues
April 6, 1982
The Spectrum

Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Morning Dew
Aug. 30, 1969
Family Dog at the Great Highway

Raw emotional crushing jam to end it - Garcia psychedelic blues busting.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Oct. 10, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

Yes very fine - Sailor is suitably introspective and the St. of Circ jam is early '80's Dead JAMPOWER personified.
Cassidy
June 19, 1976
Capitol Theatre

haahah both work
Terrapin Station
April 14, 1984
Hampton Coliseum

Still the best Terrapin no one has ever heard - top 5 in the '80's. Warm recording (Eaton) delivers the goods. I think this was my first post on this site haahha I fckd up the description should have been more emphatic anyway if you dig Terrapins this should scratch that itch.
Pretty Peggy O
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

Well deserving of the top spot - immaculate.
