The Omni

Heavy calypso rhythms & monstrous punctuation via The Beast make for an epic Drums out of Terrapin. 5 star stuff.

Red Rocks Ampitheatre

In combo with the equally stunning "Eyes" to follow this is an unheralded, wah-wah Jerry-heavy, Bobby/Donna vocal gem.

Althea

Civic Center

Sily smooth Althea from Providence. Rich Jerry vocals & of course, chunks o'Phil. This deserves a listen & some votes!

West High Auditorium

Short but oh so sweet fuzzfest of Brent-centric gooyness seamlessly into a typically funkified 1980 NFA

One of those shows that screams for a clean SBD. Suffers not from performance but from available sound quality.

^^^^ It happens sometimes, brother, it happens ;-) Sticking by my two cents on this one, though...love what it does.

Spiritual cousin to 8/27/72 and 6/22/73. Brilliantly executed by all, with an especially amazing performance from Billy on the drums. Gorgeous rendition made even more enjoyable with the sound from Dap21 release. Needs to be heard by many and upvoted by many more out of the single digits as soon as is humanly possible. Come on, folks. This version is a true work of art.

^^^ Yeah, they sure do--there's a give and take between Jerry and Keith here that reminds me of the back and forth between Garcia and Mydland on Shakedown 4/6/82, and how about some props for Jerry nailing all the lyrics in this one? This whole version is way WAY better than the 4 votes it currently has at the time I'm submitting this. Slinky, funky groove, a version in keeping with this whole show being almost Just Exactly Perfect, Up it if you agree,
