Wow! One of, if not the, best performances of El Paso post Godchaux era.

Jerry’s noodling! One of the best post-hiatus versions! And sandwiched inbetween two of the greatest shows ever.

Downs of Santa Fe

Poster did not make note of the incredible jam due to Bobby’s mic. Giving 2/5/78 vibes.
Brown Eyed Women

Selland Arena

Very slow and mellow, not for me.
Jack Straw

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Way better than 4/6/87

Meadowlands Arena

Pales to 7/24/87.

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

I agree with Grendel Books, 5/1/81 is the better version. Right off the bat on 5/1/81 Jerry is ballistic. This is only ahead due to it being released as a Dave’s Picks.
