Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Not Fade Away

Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Sitting on Top of the World

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

Nice call gdtrfb, I love these Lee AUDS. This one sounds very nice, and the crowd is rowdy! Here's the version I checked out: https://archive.org/details/gd1970-03-21.late.aud.lee.pcrp.21779.shnf

Great call Cuse! I stumbled into this show, and this is wonderful! Well worth a listen!
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

My current theory, though I need to check out its placement in the rest of the tour, is that the quirk comes from the fact that Garcia is exhausted but they're playing really well as a band and make it happen collectively.
