Yale Bowl, Yale University

A great vesion from ’71 with a unique Darkness Darkness transition jam after the “We bid you Goodnight” coda. Very deep, spiritual interplay.

Mother's Day Dead, One of the best GDTR from the early 80's, Weir is just thrashing chords during the second jam, check it out

Madison Square Garden

A Major Break-Out, you must hear the crown reaction, none of the '83 versions really stand out, but this needs to be heard.

Springfield Civic Center Arena

Great version from a great show, I love how Jerry growls the “Last fair deal…” line great stuff, foreshadowing the Werewolves to come.

Aiko Aiko

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

The first time I saw Aiko Aiko, great singing by Garcia, clearly having a blast. RPI is an underrated show, with many, many highlights.

Franklin's Tower
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

This is GREAT version and it needs more votes, the entire pre-Drums segment of this show is outstanding, if you haven’t heard CAPE COD!! in awhile, give it a listen.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Sept. 1, 1979
Holleder Memorial Stadium

We know ’77 is the bellwether year for amazing Half-Steps, branch out your listening and give this ’79 version a try, a great nomination from LagerandGospel. I regret waiting over 30-years to hear it again, a good SBD is out there and it is a really, really good version, from a show that I didn’t think much of when I attended it, but the tapes don’t lie, give it a listen and vote. The Franklin’s that follows also smokes.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 5, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Spacey transition jam, and then a very fiery closing Fire jam, worth a listen.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 23, 1983
New Haven Coliseum

This is an under rated Scarlet>Fire from an under rated tour, everyone is ga ga over the Spring 90' Hamilton Scarlet>Fire, this one is on par with the Dick's Pick Vol. 6 version from Hartford, give it a listen.
Jack Straw

Nashville Municipal Auditorium
