You can tell this was a great rendition but this AUD is just way too muddy. An aggressive EQ might do this one some good

No SBD but this AUD is actually quite fantastic. This is a superb version, totally worth your time

Words to describe this one: gentle, tranquil, just beautiful. Criminally underrated. Talkin 25 to life criminally underrated.

There's some intentional stutters in the solo that the whole band picks up on and its magical. On fire, not sure how this wasn't already here

Very abrupt out of mama tried-- Jerry takes a longer solo and totally kills it. 100% worth a listen

This one gets my vote. This is a rhythm section showcase. I hate how these musicians don't get any credit aside from Jerry (superficially) outside of deadhead circles; listen to Kreutzmann here and tell me that's not a drummer that should be mentioned alongside the likes of Elvin Jones, John Bonham, etc. Same can be said for Phil, Bobby, possibly Keith too

Good call on the aud ds. Sweet outro jam here

This should be higher. Most 80s eyes (in my most likely inadequate experience, as evidenced by this comment) tend to have somewhat disjointed solos that lack the infectious melody and phrasing of the 70s. This one has got two great solos although I wish the second solo was longer. The first solo has that idiosyncratic phrase-to-phrase Jerry "flow" to it that tends to go missing after '78. Very pleasant surprise here

^^^Nice glimpse into their friendship. Moments like that are priceless
