Hornsby always makes Jerry play better. Here's the AUD I've been loving: https://archive.org/details/gd1991-06-14.sennME80.wklitz.94371.flac16

Dec. 30, 1978
Pauley Pavilion

Short (and an AUD patch), but kicks off a wonderful sequence.

Wonderful show– you can hear the band waiting for someone in the audience to yell out something they want to play, and they latch onto "DS" and move quick. Slow build (even with the loud guiro in the mix), with the wonderful ambience of those early 70s auditorium recordings. Great matrix of this!

Nice slow build, and some nice vocal work.

Holds a special place in my heart since it was one of my first tapes, but Garcia is ON the entire time. Listen to the crowd react as they know they are watching it go down.

Jerry's voice draws you right in and holds you. The pacing is just right, building energy until Phil destroys your speakers and Jerry takes off. The rest of the band seems to be pushing along during the respite, but Jerry is not to be rushed, and he drags out the climax. Everyone is contributing. It's against received wisdom to pull for music from shows this late into the 90s, but you're missing out in this case, this is solid playing.

Absolutely. They're next on my list.
