Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Jan. 12, 1979
The Spectrum

Out of a great NFA, this Going Down the Road rocks, Weir is strumming chords like a madman and Phil drops a few bombs for good measure, give it a try.

Not Fade Away

The Spectrum

Great version, slow powerful into then 14 + jamming minutes from an underrated show. Wish there was a SBD, give it a listen anyway.

Must give a nod to the first one, the only one I know of with a middle Jerry solo.

Greatest Story Ever Told
Aug. 20, 1983
Frost Amphitheatre

Just exactly perfect, the moment when Jerry starts his solo and the sound wave pulsated through the crowd.

Very aggressive transition into Sunshine Daydream, someone calls out 1, 2, 3, 4 and then bam. Worth the listen.

Great nomination, I didn’t know this version, just got Dave’s Pick’s Vol 8, and if you are listening to any other source, stop. Buy it, borrow it, download it, just get it, it sounds amazing. A very nice pace to this version and Jerry’s vocal are still sharp, unlike most of the other 80’s versions. Powerful “Goodbye Mama and Papa”, Give it a listen and get DP Vol 8.

Sure glad we have video of this standout version. If you have seen it or listened to it, this version would be rated higher.

Good version for sure, I like the 3 (top ten) stand-out 78’ versions better, 04-24_Normal, IL., 07-08_Red Rock and 12-31_Winterland. Can’t argue with Jerry’s’ vocal enthusiasm, good choice.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

All of the Jerry ballads, slower tunes from this two night run at Red Rocks are outstanding. Hopefully these two nights gets an official release someday, if we only had a video of Jerry belting out this version. Edit-Now that this has been released July 78' Box Set it should have more votes, the version before this one, 7/3/78 St. Paul totally rocks as well.

The drummers are a beast in the version, Jerry’s vocal are spot on. One of the better first sets of any year. Recently released on Dave’ Picks Vol 7, which sold 12,000 copies, so this version needs a few more votes.
