The boys burn it up...Jerry's flying and Phil's bombing...transitions into a pretty funky Women are Smarter for the crowd to dance the intensity away

Late 81 Early 82 was undoubtedly a hot time for the band, and it's nice that they brought this tune back with a different take

Wow. Mind-blowing. Brent seems to take 'Superstition' to a new level and Jerry and Phil are totally flyin' and rippin' and bombin' while the drummers stomp. Hardly noticed Weir but I'm sure he was great. WOW

So this one is pretty great, but I must disagree w/ best-ever...My fave is 7.15.84. Just a personal preference, but compare them and tell me yo disagree

Stunningly gorgeous. A lot of intense effort and focus and pure joy goes into this performance, and seemingly every performance of Europe '72.
