Great version, very energetic and perfectly executed. Easily overlooked and overshadowed by the rest of this amazing show.

Hofheinz Pavilion

Reminiscent of another favorite version, 5/19/77. I love when Wheel comes out of Drums, adds an extra dimension. The whole Playing> sequence is sweet.

Jerry plays with extrodinary feeling, especially in 2nd half where energy builds nicely with the whole band feelin it!

Greatest Story Ever Told

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

The greatest Greatest Story Ever Told. I normally don't care much for this tune, but I sure love this one.

Beacon Theatre

One of my favorite sequences. Love the Spanish Jam type spaces near the end, and then the supremely tight Dancin' (Phil is kickin' some serious butt from the start, then Jerry is flying through the middle), and a sublime Cosmic Charlie to wrap it all up. So good.

So good. Love this show. Oh yeah, by the way, release this show already!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

OK, not directly into Franklin's, but c'mon! This Help>Slip is something really special, you can feel it already from Phil's first intro notes. In fact this whole show is special. Vote this up!
