This is when I thought the show locked in.

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 12, 1980
Swing Auditorium

Jerry's tone on this (I checked out the SBD) is slaying me, and Phil is very present in the mix. Very nice version.

International Speedway

Just listened to this twice in a row, and was blown away both times. Raw energy.

They hit a groove really early on, and ride it out. Truly wonderful version.
