At least as good as Barton, but not as well known.

1/2 Step > Big River. The run of top shelf May shows starts here.

Each night of this run has a stellar encore. I prefer 04-29's UJB, but this one's still very solid.

Completely agree. Just Exactly Perfect. What else would you put in your Top 5 for the year? And give that He's Gone from 1977-10-28 a listen! I know (and share) your love for the next night, so I know it'll floor you.

I'm largely indifferent to this show's charms, but this is a truly lovely ending.

I'll swim against the tide—this one never lifts off for me. This show's setlist is killer on paper, and things are well played throughout, but I don't hear anything essential here outside of the novelty space and that post-Terrapin gem.

What sold me was the lovely little space out of Terrapin—I've not heard anything quite like that before, is it an '82 thing? Short but very tasty.

One of the highlights of the show for me. Jerry gives an outstanding performance of this, soulful and emotive.
