This is when I thought the show locked in.

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!

Killer stuff. Someone recommended me the matrix of this (https://archive.org/details/gd1978-07-08.126239.mtx-redo.eichorn.sbeok.t-flac16). Powerful playing.

Obviously a superior version from a run full of them, but Joe_Brown and Quibus point out the obvious weakness: the transition into Big River. They land it, and it's interesting, but things fall apart for while.
