This show has to be up there in the Greatest Setlist debates, and the performance is top-notch...here's one reason why

Surprised this isn't already here...Jerry is all over it and the crowd just eats it up

A ripper for sure...8-4 and 8-5 are here, but the best (this one) isn't? What are we doing here?

Auditorium Theatre

The '76 Cassidys are laid back for sure, but this one and the entire show lope like no other, and in the best possible way. Epic PeggyO, Mission, Jed, epic top-to-bottom

Your analysis may have merit...all I can say is that I love listening to this version...maybe it's the moodiness, or the Phil-heaviness, but whatever it is, it is awesome...there may be better versions, but this one is pretty great to my ears
