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...

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

This show is so special, just listen to the Scarlet>Fire, the Let it Grow..and even though you know that the cocaine was flowing hard that night (southern Florida in 1982), nothing feels rushed and coked out, and GO FOR THE MATRIX....
Let It Grow

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Yep this is a great one, 82 was such a great year, check out the LIG from 9/11/82 West Palm Beach Auditorium.

Excellent early version, the longest solo of any pre-77 Deal that I can recall...
Got My Mojo Working
Oct. 21, 1978
Winterland Arena

This was one of those transcendent moments, the Mojo>Other One>Stella Blue especially, but the whole 2nd set was a home run...The first time I heard it, I had a seizure, my Dr told me to take it easy with the super heaviest Grateful Dead, but I just couldn't lay off the Dead, so now I do the best drugs to keep me in check...
