Marin County Veterans Auditorium

The soundman responsible for burying Jerry should be tarred and feathered, everybody else sounds awesome in the mix except Jerry, when you listen to this AUD you'll see that he was large and in charge through the speakers that night. https://archive.org/details/gd1984-03-29.3micSonyTCD5M.D5scott.109112.flac16/d2t02.flac but you gotta listen to the sbd too for the insane stuff Brent is doing doesn't come through as much on the aud...

Dave's 24 is here....
Foolish Heart
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

I'm a big Foolish Heart junkie and I gotta say it, this FH is just plain weak...The main solo is like they're sleepy and the end jam isn't much better..I'm gonna go and listen to 7/19/89 Alpine valley and The Omni 4/3/91
Pretty Peggy O
April 10, 1978
Fox Theatre

I can't believe this Peggy O wasn't already listed, talk about slipping through the cracks, this has been a fav of mine for years....
Truckin'
April 11, 1972
Newcastle City Hall

Like the others have said, this is a perfect version, Jerry is adding little licks between the vocal the whole time, Phil's voice is in it's high harmony prime, and the outro jam is stunning, just chunky as heck...
