Althea
Ripping version and easily the best i've ever heard. Jerry is playing like a man possessed
17
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
What we called the quintessential Scarlet Fire. With all due respect, none on this list top it for me. Best transition and great Jerry runs on Fire.
5
Morning Dew
Powerful Dew in SLC. This is a real sweet show. Needs more attention 1981 is underrated.

Jack A Roe
Extremelly fast paced hs one hell of a pop and bounce to it. Crisply sung real cool stuff here.

Eyes Of The World
Super hyper drive coke fueled eyes you swear the tape is sped up, some real cool 80s tones in the jams and the drummers are really going off at warp s
