Spring tour of 1990. Does not get a whole lot better than this. Absolutely amazing show in general

Typically it's that late 89-90 jerry voice that really gives us empathy for the protagonist, but this 1980 version takes the cake. Very bluesy

Few days before the nightfall of diamonds show. Instrumentally the best, jerry might've forgotten a verse or two at the time.. What a beautiful song

I agree that Jerry's voice is a little rough, and the out to jam is just okay, not nearly as good as the 1989-10-14 version I posted
