This one rips!!! The point where the show really takes off. Even Vince gets in a great "organ" solo.

Towards the end of Jerry's last solo he rips into a second go around - blazing!

A highlight of a very strong first set! Jerry, Phil and Brent playing as a trio of lead instruments all soloing together while Bob and the drummers keep the rhythm just exactly perfect. So much space to breathe in this version, just beautiful!
Comes A Time

River Bend Music Center

I like the roughness of Jerry's voice in 1985 and it fits the mood of Comes A Time wonderfully. He's singing well on this version, but the ending solo is so short its almost non-existent. Can't say this version stands out to me.

superb guitar interplay, Garcia, Weir, Lesh all playing strongly on this one!
Promised Land

State Fairgrounds

This whole show smokes and the Promised Land first set closer is just on fire. So much momentum built up from the looonnngg first set and the China>Rider that precedes it.
