The main reasons I mention this version are the return of the Spanish Jam and then Alabama Getaway at the end. Great for 81.

The Space leading into St Stephen contains 2 Spanish Jam/Quotes that build into huge climaxes.

Possibly the most intense middle break of any Estimated. Everything in this show is about perfect anyhow....

Tears rolling down Jerry's eyes? The same Jerry that barely moved a foot and got cheers? Perhaps a little revisionist history lol?

I don't know who is worse about keeping lists: Deadheads or Christians... In both cases, it kills the messenger. Enjoy the season. Selah tee dah...

I heard this one night in the car on The GD Hour and when Gans said 88 I was like "no way!" but it tis true indeed.

This is certainly the best version of 1980. Freedom Haul above touches on the ending, it is a couple of minutes, similar to how Jer liked to jam on The Other One as he wound down to the drums when he was coming out of the drums with it afterwards. Here, he jams on the Wheel for several minutes as he winds down to the drums out of this fantastic Playin.... Oh, it is just bee-u-tee-full. :)
