Punchy with some heat. Pigs tone on the pipe organ(?) or electric piano makes this special too. Source:CM

Bob's slide work is CLEAN and on point and Jerry is in a frisky mood this night. Brent's B3 is hummin' - this version peels paint.

Morning Dew
Aug. 30, 1969
Family Dog at the Great Highway

Raw emotional crushing jam to end it - Garcia psychedelic blues busting.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Oct. 10, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

Yes very fine - Sailor is suitably introspective and the St. of Circ jam is early '80's Dead JAMPOWER personified.

haahah both work
Terrapin Station
April 14, 1984
Hampton Coliseum

Still the best Terrapin no one has ever heard - top 5 in the '80's. Warm recording (Eaton) delivers the goods. I think this was my first post on this site haahha I fckd up the description should have been more emphatic anyway if you dig Terrapins this should scratch that itch.
Pretty Peggy O
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

Well deserving of the top spot - immaculate.
