Highlights for me were Bobby's voice bouncing around the hall and Jerry's super sweet tone.

Quick tempo and nice bounce, with some great band support under Jerry's triplet ideas during the solo.

Even the "Drums" from this show is a step-above, and > "Wheel."

Date's wrong. Usually not a fan of this tune, but the jam blows up mid-song.

Worth a listen from the jamming from "Space" into "Stephen," and I find it interesting how the band move through those conceptual spaces in the transition. You can almost here when the first jam gives way to a "Stephen" jam.

I loved Brent's organ and synth colors at the start of this. The vocal jam is alright, and Garcia plays a short but tight lead. This is the opener of what I believe was Trey Anastasio's first GD concert.

(He makes up for it in the ending vocal jam, btw).

This is perfect and everything I love about 80s Dead. I love Jerry with an organ player!
