Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Between this and the huge Playin sandwich in set 2 makes for an all time great show- i too would want it with me if trapped on a desert island- top shelf Dead.

Excellence yes indeed-this could be the best ive heard-they really had this song down pat in 74,love the jam leadin up to the climax...wehey!

Berkeley Community Theatre

Great version,i agree with the above- im really enjoying these Berkely shows leadin up to the mighty Veneta..The Dead were untouchable in 72 what with the Europe tour et all.I love Keith on piano,its a shame when hes buried in the mix.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 7, 1982
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

This is surprisingly good- i didnt expect much to be honest but whoa was i impressed- a real tight transition into a burnin hot rider,Jerry nails the headlight vocal too- what a treat.
Althea
Oct. 11, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Overlooked indeed- great rec. Grendel,ive only listened to Althea and Baby blue but im gonna give the whole show a listen tomorrow- the Dead were a hot ticket in 89,the band sound great together and Jerrys havin a good show ,i can tell.
