To my ears, Bob's best overall performance here, and the whole band really seems to be feeding off the same special energy

Quite possibly vastly underrated...Keith's work is magnificent, and he is obviously feeling it from the start in this show

Based on set list alone, the jam portion stands out...this Terrapin kicks it off very powerfully

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
They Love Each Other

The Mosque

Great choice. This show is off the hook!

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

Universal Amphitheatre

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
