Brown Eyed Women
April 22, 1979
Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

Mexicali Blues
April 6, 1982
The Spectrum

Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Bird Song

Bird Song alert - delivers everything that's stated above - check it and you will see. Really, really nice one here.

Hartford Civic Center

'81 had some killer Althea's (Hi Essen!) and if you check out these two sleepers you might dig them - 4/10/83 & 9/4/83 (dark Bobby work on this one)
Althea

Hampton Coliseum

On Darkstar's recommendation on another list - this here does indeed scorch with Jerry firing sweet flares... love it!
Let It Grow
April 14, 1984
Hampton Coliseum

I forgot how good this one is - powerhouse is right - whole show is massive every take is stellar. Take a spin and you will see - Miller/ Eaton drops you in on the floor.
