SHOCKED this one wasn't mentioned yet. Even with the crushing cut out in the SBDs, this version still stands at the top

Very hot, tight jam segment. Song has the best lyric ever written: "Let your life proceed by it's own design"

By all accounts, this is a rather goofy song, but i love this version. Entire show is spot on

Some real bouncy blues and sharp Garcia licks. This one is fantastic
Promised Land

Hartford Civic Center

Even the Promised Land cranks in this show. Big ending peak and crowd is going bonkers
When Push Comes to Shove
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

On paper, this first set gets a "meh" and a shrug, but I cannot stop listening to it on the latest Dave's. Every song is given the proper treatment and the boys are ON. This song, one I never gave any real attention to, is played with power and joy. Now I wish they played it more often - has the bounce similar to "Might as Well" - I def dig it
Desolation Row

Perfectly executed

Epic moment, definitive version. Impossible to listen and not get tingly
