Allan Kirby Field House

The early Brent era can really be jaw dropping, as this is...epic Jack straws were aplenty in 79....

Everything is gold in this show, and this tune is particularly shiny

Slow groove...all parts are on point...so much tenderness and yet so much power

Seattle Center Coliseum

Swingin' and groovin'...Phil takes charge on forgotten first verse..Bob drops an f-bomb but seems to censor himself on "ain't it a shame" line. Funny

Heady heights hit here by all parties...Donna really stepped it up for Tuscaloosa

Glad you guys dig this one...I stumbled across it on archive in the TDIH section, and later played it for a friend, and it turned out to be a birthday show for him, unbeknownst to me at the time...for this reason and for quality reasons this one stands out. The whole set is really stunning to me, even by the Dead's standards. p.s. Yolker, I'd fight in the Weir Jort Army any day

Check this one out! I find it hard to believe I'm the only person that's in love with this...it's a go-to for me when I really need a pick-me-up that only the boys can provide

Indeed...this show is one of my go-to's

THIS ONE has gone too long unnoticed, so I have no choice but to pimp my own submission. Please somebody tell me this is not the best Row Jimmy ever played, or tell me I'm crazy. Either is fine...just tell me something (EDIT: There are some better ones. This one is still top 5 easily I.m.o. 3.20.77, 8.4.76
