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

To Lay Me Down
Aug. 3, 1982
Starlight Theatre

Great version from a great show, only three To Lay Me Down’s in ’82, all are very good.
To Lay Me Down
Oct. 17, 1983
Olympic Center

I believe this is the best one I saw live, the only ’83 version and it was very emotional and powerful. The entire place was silent during this song, (after blowing the roof off during Sugaree) and the finale just gives me chills.
Stagger Lee

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Agree that this is an amazing show, this Stagger Lee, not so much, good but not stellar, it adds to the quality of the show, no doubt, but there a dozen’s better from ‘78 and ‘79 alone.
Stagger Lee
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

The entire show could be nominated, well sung version with authoritative bass lines by Lesh, Mydland adds a lot to this version, one of the best of ’79 for sure, give it a listen.
Stagger Lee
Dec. 16, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Great version from what I believe is the bell weather year for Stagger Lee, but is this the best? Top three for sure, I’ll listen to a few more before I vote.
