Hard to go wrong with any selection from this outstanding show. It takes a while for Rider to find its groove, but this is why we love the Dead!!

Solid version. Phil in the mix. Follows up a Red Rooster that starts 2nd set. Good show all around.

Is this the one and only version of this performed by the Dead? I think so...

Knickerbocker Arena

A strong later version from an excellent Spring tour. Jerry's solo work is top-notch for this period. A solid show all around in spite of a 45 minute D/S.
Let It Grow

Downs of Santa Fe

Why this show doesn't get more love I will never know. Here's a 14 minute Let It Grow that cooks in every single way possible. One hell of an early 80s version.

If you love Slipknot jam in your HSF sandwich, then this is really quite tasty.

Bluesy outro rolls smoothly into Smokestack. Great 2nd set here.

"Say your peace and piss off!" Or, is it "kiss off"?
