Definitly the best one! The 1st 2 hours are a little plodding, but once the acid kicked in, it was smoooth sailing!

Cliche, but how in the Holy Hell is this version not listed? This whole show smokes in that beautuful 78 way...

Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

If a better board of this show had been circulating, this Bertha would be so much higher, and right into one of the best Good Lovins ever, Fall 77

Morning Dew
Nov. 1, 1985
Richmond Coliseum

The Morning Dew was the NEXT night in Richmond, 11-2-85, not the 1st...There's filler from 9/2/80 on this Dick's picks (21) which has a Dew, so that's probably why the OP was confused, though I would never confuse 1980 Jerry or Dead, with 85...

Beautiful harmonies, perfect execution
Me and My Uncle

Dane County Coliseum

I know Muncle is often overlooked, but this one right here is PERFECT in every way!
