Winterland Arena
Jerry and Donna sound great in this uptempo version. Jerry's solo smokes too, of course.

The Spectrum
Sweet bluesy outro jam. Spring ’78 was very good to poor Peter.

Pretty Peggy O

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center
Seemingly looser and jammier than some, with some great musical conversations.

Candyman

Omaha Civic Auditorium
Slick, efficient Garcia solo, plus some cool flourishes by the Godchauxs.

Friend of the Devil

Music Hall
Perfectly phrased and chosen melody lines from Jerry. Another astonishing FOTD of the era.

Palace Theatre
I’m on an upvoting spree this first set, which is to say — it’s all so good. Don’t skip any of the short songs on the way to the big jams.
Terrapin Station
Aug. 4, 1982
Kiel Auditorium
This is an exceptionally well-played Terrapin even before they get to the jam. With the jam, this is a reasonable contender for the Top 25. Brent shows off his jazz chops throughout.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre
Commenting purely on the audio: Anyone checking out this show should hear the Dusborne matrix, which is much livelier and more detailed than the muddy-sounding Dave’s Picks release.
To Lay Me Down
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum
Altogether almost faultless, this one climaxes nicely with Jerry’s solo.
Black Throated Wind

Denver Coliseum
Fabulous performance all around!
