Shakedown Street
Laser-focused, perfect rendition, start to finish. Super-funky with awesome Jerry fuzz-guitar, rock-blues jamming post-vocals
9
I Need A Miracle
Flawless deliver by Weir followed by extended, bluesy, gritty Garcia jam
22
Dark Star
Shakedown, Bertha, Darkstar, St.Stephen all in the same set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5
Loser
Last ever use of the "Sweet Suzie" line...I think. Subdued, but there. Nice version taboot.
15
The Music Never Stopped
This is a mindblower. Jerry goes into hyper-speed and sends the crowd to a different dimension.
9
St. Stephen
Last one until 1983. This version cooks. This second set is ridiculous good.
3
Passenger
3
Row Jimmy
Not too fast and not too slow with some nice double time at the end.
4
Wharf Rat
Hard to believe this is an AUD. 8:00-8:40 is a good example - crystal clear and tight.
4
Bertha
Galloping, tight version. Good interplay from everyone involved. One of thew few tunes Keith really came alive during his last two years with the band
1
Good Lovin'
Comes charging so perfectly out of "Bertha." Fun version from a GREAT show.
1
Promised Land
Sweet rocker to open up a legendary show
2
Dire Wolf
No SBD for this show but it still shines
1
Mama Tried
Bobby always did Merle justice, Jerry’s harmonies help too
1
Mexicali Blues
Rollickin’
1
Tennessee Jed
Just as good as any from the year prior and the months to come
1
Looks Like Rain
One of the last with Donna and Keith.
3
Stagger Lee
Bobby’s slide makes this an excellent version flub notwithstanding. Hell even withstanding.
1
El Paso
Just throw in an A1 version of this and then there’s more, this first set needs more love. Whole show indeed.
