Latest Dave’s Version is solid. Slower than some versions but very bluesy and Pig is at his best

Interesting song and show. Not a good recording and not the best show but worth a listen. Honky Tonk Women? From NFA on, it sounds like the Dead.

Jerry is definitely having fun. The crowd is loving every second of it. Hard to find 1980's, even '89, shows where Jerry plays like this. Blistering! He is just ripping every song to pieces.

Definitely underrated. Excellent song and show. There are better Terrapins, but not a lot.

Wow! I usually start with set 2 but that is a mistake. I forgot how strong this version is. This is still my favorite show. I think it will stay there.

Number 2 for me. One of those where number one is light years ahead of two though. This and Buffalo are both on my list of favorite shows.
