Jerry is sharp and accurate here. Great energic vocal digs. Brent's back ups are so nice. Some heart and lift here, focused and engaged every second!!

Bob's voice has some real flare/funk to it. The whole band was on fire this night. Amazing opener to a incredible show!

Featured right after Wharf Rat. BLASTING with power and tempo. The opening is explosive and the tempo doesn't let up. Very strong '79 version. FIRE.

Up vote!! A very deserving spot at #2. I would add I think it's the perfect spot too. This is a safe top 3.- Very focused and everyone engaged and locked in. Branford addition is so fun you would really think was with the band for years. Brent's touch on EOTW is a treat and delight for all, spoiling. Stunning performance from everyone. Not sure if I'll boldly say it's my favorite EOTW, but man it's locked in as a top 3 safely. Unique and done correctly and beautifully.

My all time favorite Dark Star. Complete Dark Star and really travels deep and far, while staying focused. Beautiful performance.

Voted! A really strong focused and purposefully, beautiful Terrapin Station. Consistent throughout. Deserves some more attention. Brent really shines here and compliments the song extremely well.

My favorite Terrapin Station. I'm extremely surprised it's ranked so low. I thought easily would be top 3. Stunned. - I'd also agree with this being the Grateful Dead's best performance. This is something special. Absolute master piece Terrapin Station - Start to finish the whole band is engaged, and the ride is beautiful and Jerry throws EVERYTHING into the lyrics. The build is absolutely gorgeous and I truly think one of the best. - "all to get to Terrahhpinn!" ; begin the most beautiful take off with Jerry guiding you through it, with the boys and yes Donna locked in. Start to finish 10/10. -- I call this one the "heart of Terrapin Station" -- Arguably one of the best shows too!

I very much enjoy the '73 versions. But this one right here.. This is just too good. Maybe my favorite, but a top 3 for sure- Must listen.
