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.

The Music Never Stopped

Augusta Civic Center

A little surprised how low this is. A hot clean version.

I think this should be much higher. This kicks. Yes, Englishtown is the best but this one does not disappoint and surpasses most above it. Much better than Hartford which is above it, and also a great version. This is better than Cornell. Should be number 2.

Excellent version. I do prefer Swing, but still excellent.
I've Been All Around This World

I have been to the Mill Valley Rec Center. I brought my daughter there when she was a toddler as they used to do free events for kids. I only mention this because I can't imagine seeing a Dead show there. It must have been amazing. This is very small venue, maybe it would hold a couple hundred if pretty packed. This song is always great and this is no exception. 9 votes? Where is the love for one of their best acoustic covers. I love the 1970 and 1980 acoustic shows. I only wish they had expanded the set list a bit, but there is a lot of good solo Jerry acoustic stuff available.

Amazing. I love the groove. Not 8/13/75 but definitely a top version. Great energy and well played.
