Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

I'm a sucker for China Dolls - this one has Jerry delivering very dreamy vocals on this one.

The 2nd Jam is the gift that keeps giving - check it out to hear why - unreal jam, unreal show. Super Old Testament styled Dead.

Dec. 7, 1981
Des Moines Civic Center

Jerry sprays the fire with a kerosene hose on the final jam. I feel he made up for missing the middle jam tempo shift where he got ahead of himself and blazed by the buildup before the drop. A sbd of this would launch it up the standings at least for '80's renditions.
