Hot version! Not quite as epic as the night after, but still incredible.

Stanley Theater

An absolute tsunami, one of the most intense ever this side of 3/2/69

A particularly jazzy version; Jerry is ablaze and climbing to enormous heights.

Strand Lyceum

Very long and spacy version that gets very intense. One of the best of Europe '72.

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Just have to add that I think this medley is a little better than the version they did on 10/27/73; Playin' reprise gets especially wild!

Nassau Coliseum

Really intense, jazzy version...Garcia is on fire for the whole show, which is one of the best of the year IMO.

Alpine Valley

This transition is as perfect as it gets and one of the best of the '80s, if not all time!

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

I think this version as a whole is a bit underwhelming, but the Tiger/feedback section deserves special mention as one of the greatest "spaces" ever performed.
