No spine-tingling moments but very good overall with interesting jam.

Music plays Hornsby and band as all are on point and with abundance of energy.

The Palladium

Heading into May '77 on a high note. Extraordinarily locked-in with every member top-shelfing it.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Solid if unspecatcular until last line "Los Angeles, Norfolk..." where Garcia searing vocals then searing guitar! Lesh and crew raging also..

Interesting as sure sounds like violin. Jerry's tone sounds little bit like Robbie Robertson. Phil lots of heady goodness.

Ship of Fools
June 20, 1988
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

One of their songs that's significantly enhanced by passionate vocals- like this version.
The Eleven
May 23, 1969
Seminole Indian Village

If not for song's title would have had at least 12 votes long ago.
The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)
March 3, 1987
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Song's writer had to catch a flight so couldn't attend for long. Bet he dug it!
West L.A. Fadeaway
July 3, 1984
Starlight Theatre

My nof-fave-sounding synth mixed a little high at Phil's expense, but Bobby's tasty licks make up for it.
Doin' That Rag
Aug. 30, 1969
Family Dog at the Great Highway

"Haunting swagger" a perfect description.
