This one's solid with a sweet outro... nobody crowds anyone on this one.

Upstate Funk Jerry breaks out the distorto in the middle jam. Brent goes full Herbie H. at the end! Dank slow jamz.

Lovely and delicate with Brent laying some sweet foundation and Weir's in check for Jer to weave some magic on this one.

Rips hard and has a raunchy edge with DJ's excellent backup work. There a gazillion Jack Straws but this deserves a listen.

Jerry comes out and pounds the crowd to dust - sheesh.

That 10/29/77 rings a bell - I know I've heard it but can't recall it specifically - gonna go check it on your recommend Grendel. If it's anything like this one I am sure I will dig it.

'84 is underappreciated in my book too and this one is so damn darkly atmospheric and just a cool journey - Weir's work is especially interesting to me here all the way to the end. While not '84 check out 4/6/82 for a quick but FIERCE O1. that does not overstay it's welcome but gets to the point for the bash.
