The final vocals, “Run and See” give me goose bumps and the Garcia solo is also very good. I had this version from many years and lost it and always

Greatest Story Ever Told
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Very good version, Garcia is all over his solo. This show has a few more "break-outs" as well, overall a good show to end the Keith and Donna era.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

The first jam is quite nice, but is the jam after the second vocals that is really cool. Starting @ 7:20 Jerry and Bob are strumming a chorded structure, very similar to the standard Not Fade Away fare, but a little different, this builds a little bit and you are wondering if Jerry is going to solo, another round of the strumming and then wham, Jerry takes off on a ferocious lead, @ 8:10 very cool lead run, to short but you will like it.
Standing On The Moon

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

I really like the tone of Garcia’s guitar in this version; I believe this was the first show with the new “Lighting Bolt” guitar. He absolutely shreds the last solo, taking the band with him to new heights, last gasp of amazingness?, (new word, like it?) Best version I have heard, give it a listen.

Boston Garden

The great final coda is the only moment in a poor show, this version is worth a listen, but not because it closed the 2nd set, shit with only I Need a Miracle, but that is the downfall of any show past ’91.
Standing On The Moon

Nassau Coliseum

Spring 1990 rocks, this is in the box set, should now get more votes. Well sung version, sometimes Garcia was so lucid in his singing, a great solo closes a great version.
