Nice and slow! It's like Garcia can't play a wrong note tonight! Some nice support from the full band at the climax (esp. Keith).

A bit faster than I usually prefer it, but this is probably one of the last versions with Donna that’s decent, if you prefer her harmonies to Brent’s.

Nice reading with extended solos from Garcia. His voice is a bit rough, but he's singing emotively.

Solid show opener (I can leave Weir's slide parts, though). Jerry's clearly having a good night.

Part of me wishes they tried this hard all the time. Very nice version.

Bobby is definitely on during this tighten up jam. Good stuff.

Is that a question with only one right answer? :)

welcome aboard Moses! Poke around and find what you like, it's never too late. cgarces is spot on with those recommendations, both are killer. I'd add 7/31/82 (my first favorite) and 2/5/78 (my current fav).

Whoops! Edited. Also bump for the great rap and the fact that the whole group cooks.

They tear this up.
