Tight, intense. Great thirteens-style jam from Phil.

THE BEST, and I mean best. 14 mintues of raw emotion from Jerry, you'll be crying by the end!

Playin' In The Band

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.

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.
