They Love Each Other
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace
Structurally identical to the version on 2/26, but the dynamic swings and melodic inventiveness of Jerry’s solo elevate this to one of the truly great versions.
Black Peter
Feb. 4, 1978
Milwaukee Auditorium
This is an underrated highlight of an overlooked show. Wedged between two titanic performances, and hobbled by a setlist that looks boring on paper, 2/4 nevertheless cooks. This Black Peter is an absolute beast with a lovely solo and tremendous, slow-burning outtro jam.
Dire Wolf

Selland Arena
This is a shockingly hot Dire Wolf. Jerry’s fills and solos rip
To Lay Me Down

Lakeland Civic Center
This one took me by surprise. They had obviously rehearsed it for the acoustic sets earlier in the fall and it the they're much tighter than I expected. Jerry's vocals are sweet and his solo glitters.

Multiple lyric flubs on Garcia’s part but he more than compensates with wickedly hot soloing. He even rips it up during the “anymore” coda, which I’ve not heard him do on any other version.
