Laid-back show opener...cool points for the transition into unusual

Hofheinz Pavilion

Thunderous! Everybody on point. Fierce weir vocals, crunchy lesh, Jerry rippin', kieth and the drum boyz pounding away

Winterland Arena

Very nice...Not the greatest of all time, but an average Dew from '77 is great enough in itself

Rarely a song I like, but this one stands out to me, probably because of Brent and Jerry, in that order

Slowish start, but the Fire is fire...April 78...not bad

He's Gone
May 13, 1973
Iowa State Fairgrounds

Glad you guys dig this one...I stumbled across it on archive in the TDIH section, and later played it for a friend, and it turned out to be a birthday show for him, unbeknownst to me at the time...for this reason and for quality reasons this one stands out. The whole set is really stunning to me, even by the Dead's standards. p.s. Yolker, I'd fight in the Weir Jort Army any day

Check this one out! I find it hard to believe I'm the only person that's in love with this...it's a go-to for me when I really need a pick-me-up that only the boys can provide
They Love Each Other

The Mosque

Great choice. This show is off the hook!
Scarlet Begonias
July 19, 1974
Selland Arena

Indeed...this show is one of my go-to's
Row Jimmy
June 30, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

THIS ONE has gone too long unnoticed, so I have no choice but to pimp my own submission. Please somebody tell me this is not the best Row Jimmy ever played, or tell me I'm crazy. Either is fine...just tell me something (EDIT: There are some better ones. This one is still top 5 easily I.m.o. 3.20.77, 8.4.76
