West Palm Beach Auditorium

A stupedous version; they ride what I call the "80's LIG theme" (that 3 note figure Jerry repeats a lot) to very climatic effect!

Supercharged manic Garica jazz-shredding!!! Amazing flow and energy...a clear rival of 10/29/77, at least in pure white light intensity.

Ass kicking version; insane soloing from Jerry. One of my favorites of the year!

Absolutely DYNAMITE transition! Everyone is so on point and playing off each other brilliantly...Garcia shifting from tender beauty to speed-jazz, Phil thumping some crazy funk, Keith and Bobby filling in beautifully. What really makes this is the way everyone pauses during the Feelin' Groovy and then they just drive the jam home...wow. Probably a top-10 all time China>Rider for me, just amazing stuff.
